Another change of scenery with this the Spanish novelist's latest thriller. Set initially in Mexico and subsequently in Morocco and on the coast of Southern Spain, he tells the rags-to-riches story of Teresa in the scary and violent world of international drug-running. It kept me on tenterhooks in spite of suffering, as I have found with some of the novels I've read recently, from being 100 to 150 pages too long.
