Publisher Description
Successful San Francisco attorney Will Muñoz has heard of the brutal former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, of course, but it's not until he receives his mother's suicide letter that he has any inkling Pinochet may have had his father, Chilean writer Ricardo Muñoz, assassinated thirty years earlier.
Her suspicions spur Will on to a quest to discover the truth about his father's death–and about the psychological forces that have driven his mother to her fatal decision. His journey takes him deep into unexpected darkness linking his current step-father, the CIA, drug-experimentation programs, and a conspiracy of domestic terrorism. The Pinochet Plot is not just a story of a man seeking inner peace; it is also a story of sinister history doomed to repeat itself.
Customer Reviews
Great book!
The Pinochet Plot is the kind of socially aware thriller that not only keeps you turning pages, but gives you a great deal of information about America’s support of the right-wing dictatorship of Pinochet in Chile in the 1970s. This novel has interesting characters, a complex hero, and very good writing. It kept me reading long past my usual bedtime. What a pleasure to find an intelligent thriller!
