Working as a pilot for cocaine smugglers in Mexico, Teresa Mendoza's boyfriend G'ero flirts with death on a daily basis, and they both know his days are numbered. When the inevitable occurs, Teresa is forced to flee for her life--and to manufacture a new life for herself, with her own empire and her own failures and successes. Told from the point of view of a reporter doing a story on Teresa, this tale of drugs and danger is a haunting literary thriller by a bestselling Spanish writer.
