"Getting Away with Murder: Benazir Bhutto's Assassination and the Politics of Pakistan"

On November 7, 2013, the New York Times reported that Pakistan's former military ruler, Pervez Musharraf, was freed on bail after six months under house arrest. Musharraf is now free to travel, but he still faces several charges, including at least one in connection with the 2007 assassination of Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, and his role in the government has caused significant tension in US-Pakistan relations since Bhutto's death. No one knows more about this story, and the events surrounding Bhutto's assassination, than the man who led the special investigation of the circumstances surrounding her death, U.N. diplomat Heraldo Muñoz.

In his new book, "Getting Away with Murder," Muñoz delivers a riveting narrative of the days leading up to Bhutto's assassination and the hours immediately following the event, and places it in the context of the uneasy alliance between the US and Pakistan that has developed in the years since 9/11. This is the first time this story has been told in its entirety and by one of the people most intimately acquainted with the details. Heraldo Muñoz will be available for interviews in early December in New York and DC, presenting reporters with a rare opportunity to speak to him directly about his involvement and get his opinions of what lies ahead with respect to Musharraf's fate and the fate of international diplomacy in the region.
