Description:

Con una tasa de homicidios mayor que muchos países en guerra, el triángulo que componen países como Honduras, El Salvador y Guatemala, presenta cifras escalofriantes: 90 asesinatos por cada 100, 000 habitantes al año. Estos números rebasan por un gran margen lugares reconocidos por su violencia crónica, como Estados Unidos. Para evitar que esas cifras caigan en la desestima de la incomprensión, Óscar Martínez da forma a este libro con un conjunto de crónicas cuyo tema central es la cotidianidad de una sociedad sumida en el abandono y la violencia. Martínez, periodista y redactor de la sección criminal en el primer periódico digital centroamericano, El Faro, explora la peligrosa situación que los habitantes de esta zona sufren diariamente. Con un tono íntimo y el coraje de los verdaderos periodistas, su personaje encubierto acompaña sin escrúpulos un recorrido policiaco, se sube a un bote con migrantes y se entrevista durante días con un informante pandillero.>

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
With a higher homicide rate than many countries at war, countries like Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, present shocking figures: a yearly rate of 90 murders for every 100,000 people. These numbers exceed by a lot places knowned for their chronic violence, such as the United States. In order to make those numbers make sense, Oscar Martinez shapes this book with a set of stories whose central theme is the everyday life of a society that is wallowed in neglect and violence. Martinez, who is a journalist and writer of the crimes section for the biggest digital newspaper in Central America, El Faro, explores the dangerous situations that people in this area suffer on a daily basis. With an intimate voice he narrates how he courageously goes undercover and accompanies a police chase, climbs into a boat with migrants, and interviews a gang informant for days.
