In 1978, the Cerro Maravilla assassinations shocked the people, shook the government and forever changed political perceptions in Puerto Rico. Minutely researched, tightly plotted, and passionately written, this tale of two murders recounted by Manny Suarez reads like a suspense novel and grips like a courtroom drama. Its riveting account of colonial and state terrorism in the island during the last three decades of the 20th century is an invaluable contribution to investigative journalism, contemporary history and the true crime genre.
