In this New York Times Notable Book, the Pulitzer Prize-finalist undertakes his own investigation into the murder of a Guatemalan bishop.

Named a Best Book of the Year by the Washington Post Book World, the Chicago Tribune, the Economist, and the San Francisco Chronicle

Two days after releasing a groundbreaking church-sponsored report implicating the military in the murders and disappearances of some two hundred thousand Guatemalan civilians, Bishop Juan Gerardi was bludgeoned to death in his garage. Gerardi was the country's leading human rights activist, but the Church quickly realized it could not rely on police investigators or the legal system to solve the crime.

Instead, Church leaders formed their own investigative team: a group of secular young men who called themselves Los Intocables -- the Untouchables. Author Francisco Goldman spoke to witnesses no other reporter was able to reach, observing firsthand some of the most crucial developments in this sensational case. Documenting the Latin American reality of mara youth gangs and organized crime, The Art of Political Murder tells the incredible true story of Los Intocables and their remarkable fight for justice.

"Becoming by turns a little bit Columbo, Jason Bourne and Seymour Hersh, Goldman gives us the anatomy of a crime while opening a window to a misunderstood neighboring country that is flirting with anarchy." -- The New York Times Book Review
