When it was first published, The Art of Political Murder exposed a cover-up of the crime and helped change Guatemala's destiny as it emerged from decades of civil war. In the years since, major players in the case have been imprisoned, including the president of Guatemala, and one of the key suspects was murdered while in prison, along with thirteen others. Now reissued with a new epilogue to account for these recent events and their far-reaching repercussions, this is an unmissable new edition of this \"extremely important book.\" (Salman Rushdie).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFRANCISCO GOLDMAN is the author of three novels: \u003cem\u003eThe Long Night of White Chickens\u003c\/em\u003e, which won the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction and was a finalist for the PEN\/Faulkner Award; \u003cem\u003eThe Ordinary Seaman\u003c\/em\u003e, a finalist for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and The \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e Book Prize; and \u003cem\u003eThe Divine Husband\u003c\/em\u003e.
