Reviews
"A searing look at the unsolved 2012 murder of Regina Martínez ... succeeds both as an homage to the heroic Martínez and as a gripping real-life whodunit." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A disturbing look at violence against journalists in Mexico through the lens of the murder of a veteran crime reporter ... Readers will be transfixed by this alarming narrative, all the more timely as free speech, even in the U.S., is under attack yet again. A tenaciously researched work of investigative journalism." -- Kirkus Reviews "Captivating ... [a] copiously detailed, compelling true-crime tale." -- Booklist "A gripping, can't-put-it-down mystery that is a triumph of deep reporting and a tribute to Mexico's journalists, the unsung heroes of its young democracy." -- Mary Beth Sheridan, Mexico correspondent, The Washington Post "rawing on her deep experience covering Mexico, Katherine Corcoran recounts, in meticulously researched and lively detail, the life and death of an intrepid, path-breaking Mexican reporter. Vital reading for anyone who cares about the future of press freedom and democracy." -- Julia Preston, co-author, Opening Mexico: The Making of a Democracy and winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on Mexico "Reads like an intimate suspense thriller, with lucid, elegant prose and cleared-eye facts. Corcoran, the former AP Bureau Chief in Mexico City, is one dogged, meticulous and passionate reporter on a mission to expose the culprits, no matter how high-ranking. An urgent read, Corcoran spins more than an epic tale, she restores trust in journalism." -- Alfredo Corchado, Mexico Border correspondent, The Dallas Morning News, and author of Homelands "A true crime book that you can't put down." -- Joel Simon, author of The Infodemic and former executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists "Weaves Mexican history, politics, and culture throughout her story of the life, work and murder of Regina Martínez, a tenacious journalist, killed after uncovering local corruption. Ultimately unraveling the cover-up of Martínez's murder, Corcoran relates not only the search for justice, but also the struggle to save Mexico's young democracy." -- Carrie Kahn, NPR International Mexico correspondent "With relentless reporting and deep humanity, Katherine Corcoran lays bare the horrific massacre yet incredible bravery of our Mexican journalist colleagues over the last two decades-and the failure on both sides of the border to deal with the root causes of this tragedy." -- Ioan Grillo, author of El Narco and Blood Gun Money, "A searing look at the unsolved 2012 murder of Regina Martínez ... succeeds both as an homage to the heroic Martínez and as a gripping real-life whodunit." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A disturbing look at violence against journalists in Mexico through the lens of the murder of a veteran crime reporter ...

[a] copiously detailed, compelling true-crime tale." -- Booklist "Corcoran's riveting investigation into the murder of one courageous reporter becomes a forensic examination of corruption in Mexico and the threat to democracy posed by the suppression of the free press. In the Mouth of the Wolf implicates the Mexican political system and demonstrates what we stand to lose wherever voices are silenced." -- Lawrence Wright, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of THE LOOMING TOWER "Hair-raising and infuriating. Day after day, reporters in the United States write stories that irk government leaders and have no thought of being marked for death. But in Mexico, hard-digging journalists like [Regina] Martinez are too often threatened and even killed for exposing corruption. Corcoran's book shockingly documents the deadly perils of pursuing the truth in a broken country that needs more brave voices, not fewer." -- Carl Hiaasen, New York Times bestselling author of SQUEEZE ME "A gripping, can't-put-it-down mystery that is a triumph of deep reporting and a tribute to Mexico's journalists, the unsung heroes of its young democracy." -- Mary Beth Sheridan, Mexico correspondent, The Washington Post "Drawing on her deep experience covering Mexico, Katherine Corcoran recounts, in meticulously researched and lively detail, the life and death of an intrepid, path-breaking Mexican reporter.

Synopsis
Shortlisted for the Juan E. Mendez Book Award for Human Rights in Latin America "Chilling and nuanced ... a murder mystery but also, more important, a portrait of a nation where no one knows what to believe, or whom to trust."--Mark Bowden, The New York Times Book Review "Epic ... deeply reported and riveting."--NPR Online Former AP Mexico bureau chief Katherine Corcoran's pulsating investigation into the murder of a legendary woman journalist on the verge of exposing government corruption in Mexico. Regina Martínez was no stranger to retaliation. A journalist out of Mexico's Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, Regina's stories for the magazine Proceso laid out the corruption and abuse underlying Mexican politics. She was barred from press conferences, and copies of Proceso often disappeared before they made the newsstands. In 2012, shortly after Proceso published an article on corruption and two Veracruz politicians, and the magazine went missing once again, she was bludgeoned to death in her bathroom. The message was clear: No journalist in Mexico was safe. Katherine Corcoran, then leading the Associated Press coverage of Mexico, admired Regina Martínez's work. Troubled by the news of her death, Corcoran journeyed to Veracruz to find out what had happened. Regina hadn't even written the controversial article. But did she have something else that someone didn't want published? Once there, Katherine bonded with four of Regina's grief-stricken mentees, each desperate to prove who was to blame for the death of their friend. Together they battled cover-ups, narco-officials, red tape, and threats to sift through the mess of lies--and discover what got Regina killed. A gripping look at reporters who dare to step on the deadly "third rail," where the state and organized crime have become indistinguishable, In the Mouth of the Wolf confronts how silencing the free press threatens basic protections and rule of law across the globe., Former AP Mexico bureau chief Katherine Corcoran's pulsating investigation into the murder of a legendary woman journalist on the verge of exposing government corruption in Mexico.

    The book, First Christmas, by Tomie dePaola, arrived earlier than expected and in pristine condition. The seller was both honest and fair in our dealings. I had requested Priority Mailing. She unintentionally missed the request. After mailing, the seller realized the mistake and immediately notified me. She apologized and refunded the expense of Priority Postage! The book arrived in plenty of time! If opportunity arose to purchase from evesbookgarden again, I certainly would!
