Publisher's description:

On a Sunday night in 1998, Bishop Juan Gerardi was bludgeoned to death. A Church-sponsored report had implicated Guatemala's government in the murders and disappearances of some 200,000 civilians. The Church, realizing that it could not rely on the legal system, took the decision to form an investigative team of young men called Los Intocables.
