Description
Teresa Mendoza's boyfriend is known in Sinaloa, Mexico as 'the king of the short runway', because he can get a plane full of cocaine off the gound in three hundred yards. But in a ruthless business, life is often short, and Teresa has a special cell phone that Guero gave her, along with a dark warning: if the phone rings, it means he's dead, and she'd better run, because they're coming for her next. Then the call comes. To survive, she will have to say goodbye to the old Teresa. She will have to find inside herself a woman who is tough enough to inhabit an ugly and dangerous world. And indeed, the strength of the woman who emerges will surprise even those who know her legend.
