La Reina Del Sur/ the Queen of the South Spanish edition
Arturo Pérez-reverte
Derived from factual evidence, Perez-Reverte brings us a surprising novel with an interesting twist. This time, the hero is a woman named Teresa Mendoza who is nicknamed by journalists as The Queen of the South and The Mexican by the authorities of three continents. Teresa narrates her story as it unfolds in Mexico over twelve years ago when she was the girlfriend of a pilot employed by drug lords. She did not know how to read nor write, however, after her boyfriend is murdered, she began creating an empire from nothing in the male-dominated world of drug trafficking. Henceforth, the journey begins as she grows her business by conducting deals with the mafias from Spain, France, Italy and Russia. Description in Spanish: En La Reina del Sur, este autor nos muestra, con la maestria que acostumbra, que sus exploraciones de la realidad pueden convertirse en la ficcion mas sorprendente. Que solo alguien como el puede crear un personaje literario que trasciende esa realidad para convertirse en heroe. Pero esta vez el heroe es una mujer: Teresa Mendoza. Una mujer sola que crea un imperio de la nada en un mundo de hombres duros, el del narcotrafico. Una persona capaz de todo y de nada porque la letra de su vida no la ha escrito ella. La Reina del sur es, sin duda, una novela que arrasa, que sorprende, que perturba.
