RED QUEEN

Antonia Scott is the latest psychologically damaged crime solver with preternatural skills.  Her handler wants her working on a particular case, but, dealing with an emotional trauma, Antonia just wants to lie low.  Enter Jon Gutierrez, a disgraced police officer whose career is about to crash and burn.  If Jon can get Antonia to work the case, charges against him will be dropped.  While the two don't immediately mesh, the case soon consumes them both and they continue working it even when they are told to stand down.  One person is already dead, another's time is running out and the case just got personal for Antonia.  This book is already an international bestseller and it's easy to see why.  It's fast, it's twisty, it's clever...it's everything a good crime thriller should be.  And there's two more installments already written, just waiting to be translated and published here.
