La crónica de un secuestro real magistralmente retratado por Gabriel García Márquez.
 
En 1990, temiendo la extradición a Estados Unidos, Pablo Escobar —cabecilla del cartel de Medellín— secuestroì a diez conocidos colombianos para usarlos como moneda de cambio. Con el ojo de un poeta, Gabriel García Márquez describe la peligrosa prueba de los secuestrados y el increíble drama de las negociaciones para su liberación. También muestra el dolor de Colombia después de casi cuarenta años de revolución guerrillera, sicarios, crisis económica y narcodemocracia. Con intensidad cinematográfica, lenguaje impresionante y rigor periodístico, García Márquez evoca la enfermedad que afecta a su amado país y muestra coìmo penetra cada estrato social, desde el más humilde campesino hasta el mismo presidente.
