Description

Explore a gripping historical account of crime and deception in colonial Peru. In The Chankas and the Priest, author Sabine Hyland investigates how a society responds to a serial killer hiding in plain sight. This book follows the true story of Father Juan Bautista de Albadan, a Spanish priest serving the Chanka people in Pampachiri from 1601 to 1611. For a decade, Albadan maintained a reign of terror over his Andean parish. He committed serious crimes including murder, sexual abuse, and sadistic torture, while also stealing from his parishioners to build a personal fortune. This narrative examines how he managed to evade punishment for ten years by deceiving his community. Published by Penn State University Press, this work provides a deep look into the social dynamics of highland Peru during the colonial era. It is a must-read for those interested in anthropology, sociology, and the complex history of religious influence in South America.
