Queen of the South

"Pérez-Reverte, a journalist turned bestselling writer, takes leave of his usual fictional forte here. Instead of a Byzantine plot built around some evocative bit of historical arcana..., THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH is a straightforward contemporary crime thriller with a reflective, moody soul....THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH proceeds according to an unusual rhythm; passages of gasping suspense alternate with brooding psychological rumination and meticulously detailed descriptions of how Teresa's empire is built and run. Pérez-Reverte returns to his reportorial roots on the last count; he knows so much about drug running it's gotta be illegal.Pérez-Reverte, Arturo is the author of 'Queen of the South' with ISBN 9780399151859 and ISBN 0399151850.
