Teresa Mendoza. Fugitive. Survivor. Pure of heart. La Reina del Sur.
She was going to do things differently. Much differently. She was going to change the game, humanize it. It was one of the reasons she started her own cartel. And hell, she was good at it. Successfully running a cartel came only second to her incredible talent of survival. But in all fairness, she had never been the head of a powerful cartel before.
Can she manage to maintain her own humanity? And can she do it all by herself? Could she use someone like James?
