Kill the Messenger

San Jose. Late summer. Typewriter keys. A lone reporter connects a few dots between Nicaragua, crack cocaine, and the US government. Soon the phone is ringing, his family is threatened, and his reputation dissolves. Paranoia's grip tightens. Cuesta's work is a solid entry in the post-All the President's Men muckraker cycle.
