Synopsis

For the last nine years, the city of Ciudad Juarez in northern Mexico has been the centre of an ongoing phenomenon of female homicides. As of February 2005 more than 370 bodies have been recovered, with over 400 women still missing, according to Amnesty International. The BBC News reported in November 2005 that 28 women had been murdered so far in 2005. As for who is behind the murders, the answer remains unknown. Despite numerous arrests over the last few years, the killings continue, leading the Mexican police and the general public to consider many theories, among them that the original killer or killers are in jail and copycats have moved to the area since. Furthermore, there has been speculation that there has been a conspiracy of silence and cover-up by Mexican politicians. As this story begins to land on the front pages of national papers such as The New York Times, this book will become a staple of required reading on the case for years to come.

Revue de presse

"This story is more horrifying than a Stephen King novel, has more twists and turns than an Agatha Christie plot, and a higher body count than any James Bond flick--and it is all true. You will never forget The Daughters of Juarez, which is exactly what the authors intend and accomplish brilliantly."--Edna Buchanan, Pulitzer Prize winner, and author of Love Kills.
"This is truly an extraordinary book."--Isabel Allende
"This is a book everyone should read."--Charles Bowden, award-winning author of Down by the River
"The Daughters of Juarez is a crucial, chilling and detailed account of the mutilations and murders of hundreds of women and girls in Juarez Mexico. It is a cry for an end to these atrocities and it is a righteous call, after all these years of horror, for justice now."-Eve Ensler, Obie award-winning playwright and founder of V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women
