I read Red Queen as a book in translation.  It takes place in Spain.  Jon Gutierrez is a disgraced cop who is suspended.  He is asked by a group to get Antonio Scott to work on a case with him.  Antonio is brilliant but is haunted by tragedy.  She reluctantly agrees to work with Jon in order to save a women who has been kidnapped.  The story is very interesting.  We get glimpses of the past that help us understand the characters.  I enjoyed the mystery and the resolution and look forward to the next two books in the trilogy.  I would highly recommend this book if you love a good mystery with flawed but interesting characters.
