Von Händler/Antiquariat, Loretta Lay Books [1095919], London, United Kingdom.
Hardback. Late on a Friday afternoon in October 2001, lawyer Gerardo Gonzalez Pedraza climbed the stairs of 31-A Zacatecas Street, a seedy building in a rundown part of Mexico City. Nothing appeared amiss. But when he reached the first-floor offices that he shared with other human rights lawyers, Gerardo became the first witness to a crime that would stun the nation. Peering into the gloom, he could just make out a small figure lying against the far sofa. It was his distinguished and internationally recognised colleague, Digna Ochoa y Placido, dead from a bullet to her brain. Over the next week, everyone from President Vicente Fox to Mexico City Mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador would give their solemn word that, this time, the outcome of this crime would be different from the litany of unsolved assassinations in Mexico. Yet by July 2003, the case had been closed. The ruling? "Probable suicide." This is the author's chilling account of a cold-blooded murder and her conviction that a cover-up reaching into the top echelons of the Mexican government had occurred. Tracing Digna Ochoa's extraordinary rise from poverty to become a champion of Mexico's most persecuted peoples, the author takes us from the steamy state of Guerrero, to the Chiapas jungles inhabited by Zapatistan rebels. Illus., Epilogue, Chronology, Notes, Selected Bibliog. and Index. 514pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. With remainder mk. to lower edge o/w Vg+ in Vg+ dw. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage.

History, Despite a note beside her body addressed to other "sons-of-bitch" human rights lawyers, the Mexican government ruled Digna Ochoa's violent death "probable suicide" and slammed the case shut in July 2003. But Linda Diebel, a three-time recipient of the Amnesty International Media Award, will not let Ochoa's story die. Here is her chilling account of a cold-blooded murder and a cover-up that reaches into the top echelons of the Mexican government. Tracing Ochoa's extraordinary rise from the streets to become a champion of Mexico's most persecuted peoples, Diebel uncovers a byzantine plot surrounding Ochoa's death. From the corridors of presidential power, to the Vatican, to jungles inhabited by Zapatistan rebels, Betrayed is a riveting expos, a depiction of friendship and betrayal, a love story and a testament to the Mexican people's continuing fight for truth and dignity. eBook.
