The Queen of the South

Second-Hand

Excellent condition

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 unauthorized 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.
