About this book
A phone call sends Teresa Mendoza running from Sinaloa with nothing but a pistol and a notebook she does not understand. Landing in southern Spain, she starts at the bottom of the smuggling trade that works the Strait of Gibraltar, learns its arithmetic of speedboats, bribes and betrayal, and rises through it with a cold patience that frightens the men around her. A journalist reconstructing her story frames the novel, circling the question of who she became and what it cost. Hard-edged, fast-moving and atmospheric, it is a crime saga about power and survival.
