Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression with full number line. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, top corners very slightly rubbed, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 291pp. The book begins in November 1990 in Bogota, Columbia, when a group of gunmen ambush a car, kill the chauffeur and kidnap its two women passengers. The gunmen were working for Pablo Escobar, boss of the Medellin course cocaine cartel, who in the early nineties kidnapped the relatives of a number of Colombia politicians in order to pressurise the government to suspend the policy of extraditing drug traffickers to the USA. 'News of a Kidnapping' is at once a powerful, disturbing account of how Escobar undermined all Colombia's civil institutions by murder or bribery, and a moving exploration of the fate of Esobar's hostages, who were mostly middle aged or elderly women.

García Márquez gives us not the icon but the man - flesh and blood, complex, contradictory, worthy of both adoration and anger - seen among his enemies and partisans. And as Bolivar re-examines his life in the fierce light of death's imminence, history rushes in and the reader is immersed in the momentous decades-long adventure that Bolivar set in motion and that ultimately changed the destiny of a continent.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the first UK edition, in near fine condition.
