Antonia Scott is not afraid of anything. Only herself. But there is someone more dangerous than her. Someone who could beat her. The black wolf is getting closer. And Antonia, for the first time, is scared.
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 in a shopping mall and is on the run. A shipping container from St. Petersburg arrives in port in Spain containing the corpses of nine women, all of whom suffocated. Now Antonia, with the help of her helper and protector, Jon Gutierrez, must track down the missing Lola. But they aren't the only ones on Lola's trail - a dangerous contract killer, known as the Black Wolf, is also on the hunt. And Antonia Scott, still plagued by her personal demons, must outwit, out-manoeuvre, and, ultimately, face this terrible, mysterious rival.

      The propulsive second volume of Gómez-Jurado’s trilogy featuring Antonia Scott (after Red Queen) sends the brilliant investigator on a high-stakes mission to take down a Russian crime syndicate. Scott is a key player in the Red Queen project, a covert European law enforcement initiative tasked with bringing to justice serial killers, terrorists, and “particularly elusive violent criminals.” Red Queen’s controller, Mentor, has sent Scott and Basque police inspector Jon Gutiérrez to find Lola Moreno, the widow of Yuri Voronin, who’s just been gunned down in his home in Spain. Voronin was the treasurer of Russia’s vicious Orlov Gang, and Mentor hopes that intel from Moreno about her husband’s death might help dismantle the syndicate. With Moreno on the run after narrowly evading a hit man herself, and the legendary Russian assassin known as Black Wolf hot on their heels, Scott and Gutiérrez embark on a blood-spattered quest to make things right. Gómez-Jurado continues to skillfully render the inner workings of Scott’s hyperactive mind, and the action in this installment is even more relentless than the series opener. Admirers of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium novels will eat this up.
