See all formats and editions

500 girls and women disappear and are later killed in Juarez, Mexico, and no one does anything about it. This book, with its explosive conclusions, reveals the high-level protection that allowed the killers to continue living their lives for over a dozen years. The “femicides,” as the murders are called, have spread to other parts of Mexico. This is the real story behind the Hollywood movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrible reading. The reality behind the Ciudad Juarez women murders
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2020
Verified Purchase
A good report book about the dreadful women murders in Ciudad Juarez. It's very shocking to know deeply the corruption Mexican reality and its extent. Really, how is it possible to live under such conditions? Is good to read and know this, just to always fight against corruption with all legal means. It perfectly shows where it leads, when it is generalised as it is in Mexico. When corruption becomes endemic and pandemic, you have a failed state. Awful to see a marvelous country, with a privileged beautiful nature, become a hell where justice does not work at all, where nothing works as it should. Where from the highest levels of politics to the army, justice and security forces everything is pourrished. A cruel pitty for everyone loving Mexico.
