Chronicle of a Death Foretold

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

NOBEL PRIZE WINNER * From the author of One Hundred Years of Solitude comes the gripping story of the murder of a young aristocrat that puts an entire society-not just a pair of murderers-on trial.

A man returns to the town where a baffling murder took place 27 years earlier, determined
to get to the bottom of the story. Just hours after marrying the beautiful Angela
Vicario, everyone agrees, Bayardo San Roman returned his bride in disgrace to her
parents. Her distraught family forced her to name her first lover; and her twin
brothers announced their intention to murder Santiago Nasar for dishonoring their
sister.

Yet if everyone knew the murder was going to happen, why did no one intervene
to stop it? The more that is learned, the less is understood, as the story races
to its inexplicable conclusion.
