White King

By Juan Gómez-Jurado
White King by Juan Gómez-Jurado digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Antonia Scott returns in the explosive climax in this sequel to the international bestselling book and streaming series, Red Queen.

Antonia Scott has an unusually gifted forensic mind, whose ability to reconstruct crimes and solve baffling murders is legendary. She’s the lynchpin of a top-secret project, Red Queen, created to work across borders and behind the scenes to solve the most devious and dangerous crimes, those that are beyond the skills of the regular police forces.

But the Red Queen project is under attack on all fronts. Across Europe, its agents are murdering each other and cases from the past, long believed resolved, are rearing their deadly heads again. At the center of it is the mysterious Mr. White, who has been weaving a web around Antonia for a very long time. He is as smart and capable as her but, unlike her, he's a psychotic killer who has isolated Antonia Scott. Jon Gutierrez, Antonia’s protector and the only person she trusts, has been kidnapped. Antonia’s husband has been killed and her remaining family is in hiding. With Jon’s life at stake, Mr. White gives her a seemingly innocuous challenge: solve three crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice. The only way to keep Jon alive is to play Mr. White’s game, but can even Antonia win a game when she can only see part of the board?

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“I have been waiting an entire year for this book's US release and it did not disappoint. I listened to this over the course of two days and could not put it down. Gómez-Jurado has a unique writing style that has you laughing out loud one minute and gasping in horror the next. (If you are triggered by detailed descriptions of violence, this is not the series for you.) The conclusion of the Red Queen trilogy (precedes by Red Queen and Black Wolf), White King drops right back into the action of Red Queen Antonia and her partner Jon trying to solve international crimes and outwit their enemies, specifically Mr. White who appears to be the greatest criminal mastermind the world has ever seen. (Watch out, Moriarty.) In all three books, the twists and turns never stop and just when you think you have it figured out... Plot TWIST! If you like edge of your seat thrillers, White King and the entire Red Queen trilogy are for you. Finally, I listened to the audiobook version read by the incomparable Scott Brick. IYKYK. If you don't, you should. Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for providing me with an early review copy of this book.”
“The way Gomez-Jurado writes a thriller is exactly what I look for. High stakes, complex characters, and a constant sense of danger that, when not right in your face, is sitting just under the surface causing an extremely intense experience. It was great to be venturing back into Antonia Scott’s world and even though I jumped from the first to the third book I didn’t feel like I’d missed out. Now that I’m really contemplating this, Antonia might just be my favorite female detective. Her story has so much depth to it and her mind is like Sherlock’s but even more amazing and intense. This is the final book in the Red Queen trilogy and every step of it was very entertaining with a truly fantastic twist at the end. The audio was done really well and this is a trilogy that I hope gets more attention here in the states! Thank you Macmillan Audio for the alc via Netgalley”
