"This story should be issued with every passport." ---from the foreword by Bill Kurtis, author of The Death Penalty on Trial and host of A&E's Cold Case Files "A powerful story of injustice, iron determination, and incomprehensible strength. Proof that wrongful convictions can happen anywhere, at anytime, to anyone." ---Jennifer Thompson-Cannino and Ronald Cotton, coauthors of the New York Times bestselling Picking Cotton " Gringo Nightmare is a brave and riveting account of a young man wrongfully imprisoned, offering insight into the history, politics, and geography of a nation. It's major motion picture material." ---Elizabeth F. Loftus, Ph.D., coauthor of Witness for the Defense and The Myth of Repressed Memory "A chilling tale of how political pressure and a rigged judicial process led to the conviction of an innocent man, and a powerful story of how one man's faith in the truth, combined with grassroots pressure from people around the world who had never met Eric Volz, eventually helped to end an unjust imprisonment." ---KC Johnson, coauthor of the New York Times bestselling Until Proven Innocent , "This story should be issued with every passport."---from the foreword by Bill Kurtis, author ofThe Death Penalty on Trialand host of A&E'sCold Case Files "A powerful story of injustice, iron determination, and incomprehensible strength.

Synopsis
In the spirit of Midnight Express and Not Without My Daughter comes the harrowing true story of an American held in a Nicaraguan prison for a murder he didn't commit. Eric Volz was in his late twenties in 2005 when he moved from California to Nicaragua. He and a friend cofounded a bilingual magazine, El Puente, and it proved more successful than they ever expected. Then Volz met Doris Jiménez, an incomparable beauty from a small Nicaraguan beach town, and they began a passionate and meaningful relationship. Though the relationship ended amicably less than a year later and Volz moved his business to the capital city of Managua, a close bond between the two endured. Nothing prepared him for the phone call he received on November 21, 2006, when he learned that Doris had been found dead---murdered---in her seaside clothing boutique. He rushed from Managua to be with her friends and family, and before he knew it, he found himself accused of her murder, arrested, and imprisoned. Decried in the press and vilified by his onetime friends, Volz suffered horrific conditions, illness, deadly inmates, an angry lynch mob, sadistic guards, and the merciless treatment of government officials. It was only through his dogged persistence, the tireless support of his friends and family, and the assistance of a former intelligence operative that Eric was released, in December 2007, after more than a year in prison. A story that made national and international headlines, this is the first and only book to tell Eric's absorbing, moving account in his own words. Visit the companion Exhibit Hall at the Gringo Nightmare website for additional photos, audio clips, video, case files, and more.

- a***_ (9)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy order arrived in better than expected condition. It was packaged very well; obviously an experienced seller that knows what he or she is doing. USPS sent it to PR despite the seller having correctly labelled it to PA. I was very concerned about what shape it would arrive in, but was very appreciative when I opened and saw how carefully it was packaged. The seller checked up on the package and was easy to communicate with when USPS made the mistake.

The packing of the book was superb, which I very much appreciate. Many books today are poorly packed and incur damage during shipping. This book was packed with lots of extra protection and padding and arrived in pristine condition. Many thanks! Would definitely do business again!Konfekt aus der Schweiz/Confectionery from Switzerland, 1981, HC/VG (#166059859980)

One bowl has some markings on it but they were CLEARLY photographed by the seller and documented. Thank you for that! I feel like the bowls were an awesome value. I love them so much. Thank you again. I'll shop with you in the future!
