A scandalously famous novel by a classic of modern Spanish literature.
She appeared when Colombian cartels were looking for alternative routes to Europe. She transformed disorganized drug trafficking into a well-functioning transnational corporation. Not only in Moroccan hashish—in the Eastern Mediterranean she created an entire cocaine network. Together with the mafia, she displaced other groups that sought to take root in the region. She never had her own product, but almost everyone depended on her. Over corpses of her men, the former girl of a Mexican smuggler rose to the top of power and might. She became the Queen of the South. And about her, a ballad was composed—still banned in some countries of the world.
