Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Pablo Escobar- billionaire drugs baron, brutal killer and jefe of the infamous Medellin cartel. Terrified of the new Colombian President's determination to extradite him to America, Escobar found the best bargaining tools he could find- hostages.

In the winter of 1990, ten relatives of Colombian politicians were abducted and held hostage as Escobar attempted to strong-arm the government into blocking his extradition. Marquez retells, with vivid clarity, the terror and uncertainty of those dark, volatile months.

News of a Kidnapping is re-issued on Gabriel Garcia Marquez 's birthday to celebrate the publication of his books as ebooks for the first time.
