A Novel of Adventure.
Arturo Perez-Reverte tells an original and unforgettable tale of treachery and corruption that breathes with the heat, passion and danger of the Mexican underworld.
In his most eagerly awaited book to date Arturo Perez-Reverte gives us a striking double portrait of a Teresa Mendoza.
When a pilot engaged in drug smuggling for the local cartels is murdered, his seemingly insignificant girlfriend takes over. Now, the "Queen of the South" has built up an empire of crime and turned Gibraltar's strait into the main entrance gate for smuggling cocaine into Europe.
This is a brilliantly crafted novel that intelligently weaves the tale of Reverte's female Escobar with the narrative of her unnamed and unauthorised biographer, who has been on an eight-month adventure to uncover her mystery.
As sensitive and passionate as it is dangerous and exciting, this is a riveting, unputdownable blend of documentary and thriller.
