With an IQ of 242, Antonia Scott is officially the smartest person on Earth. Her intelligence earned her the “Red Queen” (Reina Roja) of a secret, experimental police project, but what seemed like a gift turns into a curse and she ends up losing everything. When the son of a powerful tycoon is found grotesquely murdered in his mansion, and the daughter of the richest man in Spain is kidnapped, the Red Queen (Reina Roja) organization is set in motion. Mentor, Antonia’s former boss, turns to Jon Gutiérrez, a temperamental Basque policeman about to be expelled from the force, to reactivate Antonia. The twisted cat-and-mouse game in which Jon and Antonia become embroiled during their investigation will also help them discover that they admire and complement each other almost as much as they irritate each other. Reina Roja is a disturbing and different thriller, in which the city of Madrid is just another protagonist, and which combines the urgency and action of the investigation with the juicy and witty chemistry of its two protagonists.
