Description - Breaking Lorca by Giles Blunt

NATIONAL BESTSELLER
"A tour de force, sorrowing and direct, sharp as a knife blade, beautifully written--an unforgettable window into the human capacity for cruelty and courage." The Globe and Mail

A master crime writer trains every weapon in his arsenal on a crime against humanity.

In 1980s El Salvador, a young woman is detained in a government torture squad's head-quarters, suspected of supporting guerilla forces. There, a bookish new recruit, Victor Pena, is assigned to assist in her interrogation. Before they learn so much as her name-Lorca-the squad relentlessly break her, body and soul. It is a terrifying journey into human cruelty and courage, one which years later-in the pinnacle of cosmopolitan America-still haunts the tormentor as dramatically as it does his victim.
