She’s the lynchpin of a top-secret project, Red Queen, created to work across borders to solve the most devious and dangerous crimes, those that are beyond the skills of the regular police.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBut the Red Queen project is under attack on all fronts. Across Europe, its agents are murdering each other, and long-resolved cases from the past are rearing their deadly heads again. At the centre of it all is the mysterious and dangerous Mr White.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nJon Gutiérrez, Antonia’s protector and the only person she trusts, has been kidnapped.
