Summary
When a call comes that her boyfriend Guero, a Mexican drug smuggler, has been killed by ruthless rivals and that she is next on the list of targets, Teresa Mendoza must give up her old life and her innocence to become a tough and dangerous member of a dark and deadly world in order to survive. By the author of The Flanders Panel. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: This international bestseller inspired the must-watch drama on USA Network starring Alice Braga as Teresa Mendoza.
From âmaster of the intellectual thrillerâ Arturo Pérez-Reverte, a remarkable tale, spanning decades and continentsâfrom the dusty streets of Mexico to the sparkling waters off the coast of Morocco, to the Strait of Gibraltar and Spainâin a story encompassing sensuality and cruelty, love and betrayal, and life and death.
Few authors inspire the kind of passion that Arturo Pérez-Reverte does. Reviewers, readers, and booksellers alike have embraced his fiction as the perfect blend of suspense and literary ambition. A global bestseller, he is one of the most admired and widely read authors in the world. And this stunning novel is his best yet.
Teresa Mendoza's boyfriend is a drug smuggler who the narcos of Sinaloa, Mexico, call "the king of the short runway," because he can get a plane full of coke off the ground in three hundred yards. But in a ruthless business, life can be short, and Teresa even has a special cell phone that Guero gave her along with a dark warning. If that phone rings, it means he's dead, and she'd better run, because they're coming for her next.
Then the call comes.
In order to survive, she will have to say goodbye to the old Teresa, an innocent girl who once entrusted her life to a pinche narco smuggler. She will have to find inside herself a woman who is tough enough to inhabit a world as ugly and dangerous as that of the narcos-a woman she never before knew existed. Indeed, the woman who emerges will surprise even those who know her legend, that of the Queen of the South.
