Those Who Knew

A politician with a dark past and a violent temper, and a woman who wants to expose him. This was a quick and engaging listen, though I feel like I missed parts, due to the time jumps. I wouldn't have minded getting all the in-between details as well, as I felt invested in the story.

The plot is mostly set on an unnamed (fictional) South American island. Yet lots of references are made to the influential rich country “in the North” who helped bankroll a previous fascist leader. So it feels like a book about the US after all.
