To deal with crime, the EU has come up with the “Red Queen Project,” designed to continually adapt to changing circumstances in battling the bad guys.

The project works with Antonia Scott, a civilian who has proved herself an expert at reading criminal minds and usually does not forget anything.

She is living in guilt over the fact that her husband is in a coma and for about three minutes every day, she has the quirk of contemplating suicide.

Another strange thing about her is that she can often do things that most people would deem impossible since her brain is not normal.

Law enforcement pairs Antonia up with Jon Gutierrez, a gay and overweight inspector whose career is up in the air after he was found guilty of getting a conviction for planting evidence.
While they could not be any more different, they soon develop and rapport, as they track down Ezekiel, a criminal who brutally killed a young man.

According to Antonia, their target has been kidnapping for power and he believes he is a good person with religious beliefs.

Still, he always leaves behind a lot of blood at his crime scenes, and throughout the story, there are all manner of grisly murders but also a nice balance of setting, action, and character.

Juan Gomez-Jurado’s novel “Black Wolf” is a work set in Madrid where Jon Gutierrez and Antonia Scott are critical cogs in the Red Queen project of the EU, intended to root out the very worst criminals.

It was not until she got married to a member of the Russian mafia that she found happiness and wealth until he was murdered.

She is terrified when “The Beast” whose real name is Aslan Orlov needs to find and kill her and calls in an assassin named “Black Wolf” to do the job.

Gutierrez and Scott are also after her given that everything will fall into place if they find her. The good thing is that Scott is the smartest person on Earth, while Gutierrez is brave, strong, and smart too.
Similar to Red Queen, this is an intense novel full of dead bodies and blood galore that will have you on the edge of your seat anticipating what will come next.

“White King” by Juan Gomez-Jurado is the grand finale of the “Red Queen Trilogy.”

As the hour of reckoning arrives, she throws herself soul and body into a face-to-face confrontation with Mr White, a mysterious man who has been her number-one foe for years.

They engage in a cruel merciless fight and a desperate race against time in which the stakes just keep on rising.

She knows that there is no more powerful piece on the chess board than the queen but even so, she needs a hand to move her and she is not in control of herself.
