and two came to be part of that trial but our former colleague jorge enrico bortero in at this point we realized that karin and i had been working on this case can and behead an fbi agent is a character and a state department prosecutor and you know we were sort of weaving the story together, but what we were missing was the real and depth side of the farc and who better to bring that into our story than jorge enrique? so it was during that time we decided to write this book together. what happened from then on out is what we really realize was that it was a much bigger picture than a hostage story and that telling the story of the farc and americans relationship with the farc and telling it through characters, one who is a banker, who tried to come to the political arena with the patriotic which was part of a group of guerrillas and organizations that try to be part of the colombian political process and failed miserably when many of the members were fascinated. simone trinidad was part of that and he became a guerilla. is a fascinating story. why leave your cushy life is a banker?
