The Story of Vicente, Who Murdered His Mother, His Father, and His Sister by Sandra Nieto
The intimate story of a teenager's murder of his family, from award-winning Mexican journalist.
As crime-beat reporter for the local paper (a job that cost her closest colleague his life), Sandra Rodríguez lives and narrates the brutalization of her city, Ciudad Juárez, at a range so close and raw it is painful to readYet this book-on intimate terms with Mexico's narco-carnage, and from under its skin-draws us irretrievably into an abyss we need to know; this is the masterpiece of reportage from the murder capital of the world. -- Ed Vulliamy, author of Amexica: War Along the Borderline
Sandra Rodríguez is a reporter the corrupt want to keep at a distance. Untiring, exhaustive, intelligent. This is the only kind of reporter who could turn a case like that of Vicente, a child-murderer, into a story about the world of the mafia and the impunity of violence that reigns in Ciudad Juárez and in Mexico. If you want to understand Juárez, you have to read Sandra. -- Óscar Martínez, author of The Beast: Riding the Rails and Dodging Narcos on the Migrant Trail
