El secuestro en México es un delito que ha evolucionado y crecido de forma voraz: lo mismo destroza la vida de personas millonarias que de hombres y mujeres con escasos recursos. En este libro Saskia Niño de Rivera y Manuel López San Martín advierten sobre las circunstancias en las que se dan los plagios, cuestionan los aparatos de justicia e insisten en la necesidad de conocer a fondo los contextos sociales de secuestradores y víctimas para combatir este delito.

Por primera vez en un libro se ofrecen las revelaciones de los secuestradores más implacables de México, mutiladores, crueles y de triste celebridad por la brutalidad de sus actos. Se detalla por qué se convirtieron en secuestradores, cómo fue su niñez y núcleo familiar, cómo privaron de su libertad a las personas y por qué mataron con tanta frialdad a algunas

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This book introduces a different account, though no less bitter, voiced by the victims, who reveal their day to day during their kidnapping, the physical and psychological consequences in their lives, how they interacted with their kidnappers and how they reacted in the face of torture and rape, among many other chilling confessions. The Hell We Dread: Kidnapping in Mexico is a one-of-a-kind document that unveils the innards of crime; not to judge from immediacy, but to reflect upon what we can do to end the violence destroying Mexico.

In Mexico, kidnapping is a crime that has evolved and grown exponentially--it tears the lives of millionaires and men and women of small means all the same. In this book, Saskia Niño de Rivera and Manuel López San Martín warn against the circumstances in which abductions occur, question the justice system, and insist on the need to gain an in-depth knowledge of the social context regarding the perpetrators and the victims, in order to fight this crime.

For the first time ever, we find the revelations of Mexico's most implacable kidnappers gathered in a book--cruel maimers, sadly famous for the brutality of their actions. It is a detailed account on why they became kidnappers, what was their childhood like, as well as their family circle, how they deprived people of their liberty and why they coldly murdered some of them.
