You've never met anyone like her . . .
Antonia Scott is special. Very special. She is not a policewoman or a lawyer. She has never wielded a weapon or carried a badge, and yet, she has solved dozens of crimes.
But it's been awhile since Antonia left her attic in Madrid. The things she has lost are much more important to her than the things awaiting her outside.
She also doesn't receive visitors. That's why she really, really doesn't like it when she hears unknown footsteps coming up the stairs.
Whoever it is, Antonia is sure that they are coming to look for her.
And she likes that even less.

Crime thriller in which a dynamic duo aims to solve an interconnected murder and kidnapping. Is it one suspect? Or two? And do the crimes have anything to do with the protagonists’ past? One of the duo is the “Red Queen” who is a super intelligent woman, almost a savant or someone with Asperger’s syndrome. While the other is a big male cop who is gay and has anger management issues. Not only is the duo fighting outside forces, but also inner mental demons as well as others within the police force. As well as a nosy journalist. It is an exciting book and I am really looking forward to its tv adaptation.
