Overview

FINALISTA DEL PREMIO MOORE DE DERECHOS HUMANOS

MEJOR LIBRO DEL AÑO 2023: The New Yorker, The Economist, Biblioteca Pública de Chicago

«Ahmed escribe sobre la violencia en México con perspicacia y sobriedad. Mantiene una distancia cautelosa, muchas veces estimulante, permitiendo que la historia se desarrolle a un ritmo trepidante, entrelazando lo contextual y lo íntimo en una serie de vívidas yuxtaposiciones». Cristina Rivera Garza, Premio Pulitzer 2024

Tras el secuestro y asesinato de su hija Karen a manos de Los Zetas, en 2014, Miriam Rodríguez convirtió su dolor en una cruzada implacable por justicia. Sola, y sin ningún tipo de entrenamiento, acechó a sicarios, descifró redes sociales y mapeó ranchos abandonados hasta encarcelar a varios de los asesinos. Su lucha no solo fue una venganza, sino también la viva muestra de un México roto por la corrupción institucional, la ausencia de autoridades y el terror que somete a las comunidades. Con obstinación heroica, Miriam encarnó la resistencia de quienes nada tienen que perder porque ya lo perdieron todo.

Azam Ahmed, exjefe de la oficina de The New York Times en México, teje una narrativa íntima y cruda tras cuatro años de investigación. Con agudeza periodística y la tensión de un thriller, retrata la decadencia de San Fernando, Tamaulipas —de pueblo agrícola a epicentro de masacres— y muestra cómo la llamada guerra contra el narco dejó a los ciudadanos librando en solitario batallas que le correspondían al Estado.

Esta es la historia de Miriam, pero también la de un país: madres que buscan a sus hijos en fosas clandestinas, familias que entierran fotos a falta de restos, jóvenes reclutados en campos de entrenamiento y policías coludidos con los criminales.

Más que un retrato del horror, esta obra es un llamado urgente a la memoria. Un reconocimiento a quienes no cesan de cavar con las manos para encontrar a los suyos. A quienes, por dignidad, se niegan a olvidar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

FINALIST FOR THE MOORE HUMAN RIGHTS PRIZE

BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023: The New Yorker, The Economist, Chicago Public Library

"Ahmed writes about violence in Mexico with insight and sobriety. He maintains a cautious, often stimulating distance, allowing the story to unfold at a breakneck pace, interweaving the contextual and the intimate in a series of vivid juxtapositions." Cristina Rivera Garza, 2024 Pulitzer Prize

After the kidnapping and murder of her daughter Karen by Los Zetas in 2014, Miriam Rodríguez turned her grief into an unrelenting quest for justice. Alone and without formal training, she tracked hitmen, decoded social networks, and mapped abandoned ranches until several of the killers were imprisoned. Her struggle was not only vengeance but also a vivid sign of a Mexico fractured by institutional corruption, absent authorities, and the terror that subjugates communities. With heroic obstinacy, Miriam embodied the resistance of those who have nothing left to lose because they have already lost everything.

Azam Ahmed, former Mexico bureau chief for The New York Times, weaves an intimate, raw narrative after four years of investigation. With journalistic acuity and the tension of a thriller, he portrays the decline of San Fernando, Tamaulipas—from agricultural town to epicenter of massacres—and shows how the so-called war on drugs left citizens fighting battles that belonged to the state.

This is Miriam's story, but also the story of a country: mothers searching for their children in clandestine graves, families burying photographs in the absence of remains, youths recruited in training camps, and police colluding with criminals.

More than a portrait of horror, this book is an urgent call to memory. A tribute to those who keep digging with their hands to find their loved ones. To those who, out of dignity, refuse to forget.
