The Red Queen

A thriller unlike anything you've read so far.

The Spanish best-selling author introduces us to a thrilling, atmospheric thriller.

Antonia Scott is special.

Very special. She is not a police officer, nor a criminologist. She has never held a gun, nor worn a badge, but she has investigated, thanks to her unique intelligence, dozens of crimes. For three years she has lived secluded in her attic in Lavapies. What she has lost is much more important than what awaits her out there. Antonia Scott does not receive visitors. That is why she does not like it at all, not at all, when she hears unfamiliar footsteps climbing the stairs to the top floor. Whoever it is, Antonia is sure that they are coming for her.

Trivia:
