Chronicle of a Death Foretold / Gabriel García Márquez

After Bayardo San Román returns his bride Angela Vicario to her family on their wedding night, she names Santiago Nasar as the man responsible for her disgrace. Her brothers announce their plan to kill him, and the news spreads through the town while Santiago remains unaware. Years later, a narrator pieces together conflicting recollections to examine how a murder so widely anticipated was allowed to happen.
