Good morning everyone today on Two For Tuesday I’m featuring two books by Juan Gomez -Jurado.
I love discovering new crime thrillers, especially if they are slightly different to other books I’ve read. This series instantly appealed to me as I always love books that feature a strong, female lead and I was a big fan of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo too.
Huge thanks to the lovely Chloe from Pan Macmillan for sending these books to me.
Red Queen is out now, Black Wolf will be published on the 14th March 2024.
Red Queen by Juan Gomez -Jurado
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.
Black Wolf by Juan Gomez -Jurado
The highly anticipated sequel to Juan Gómez-Jurado’s number 1 international bestseller, Red Queen, featuring Antonia Scott, the most compelling and original detective since Lisbeth Salander. Translated by Nick Caistor and Lorenza Garcia.
Antonia Scott is the lynchpin of the Red Queen project, created to work behind the scenes to solve the most dark, devious and dangerous crimes.
In southern Spain, in the Costa del Sol, a key mafia figure is found brutally murdered in his villa, his pregnant wife, Lola Moreno, barely escapes an attempt to kill her and is on the run. An unusual shipping container arrives from St Petersburg in Spain with the corpses of nine women.
Now Antonia, with the help of her protector, Jon Gutierrez, must track down the missing Lola. But they aren’t the only ones – a dangerous hitman, known as the Black Wolf, is also on her trail. And Antonia Scott, still plagued by her personal demons, must outwit, out-manoeuvre, and, ultimately, face this terrible, mysterious killer.
