Storyline:
She solved everything... Until she broke herself.
Reina Roja follows Antonia Scott, a woman whose genius intellect once made her the perfect mind behind the Reina Roja project—a covert European law enforcement initiative operating above traditional policing.
But the brilliance that earned her the job also shattered her life.
Now in self-imposed exile, Antonia is forced back into the shadows when a murder hits her own home and a billionaire’s daughter is abducted. Her former supervisor enlists Jon Gutiérrez, a tough, grounded cop with his own baggage, to coax her back into the game.
What follows is a high-stakes investigation across Europe, where every clue is part of a larger pattern—and every step forward risks unraveling Antonia’s fragile grasp on sanity, trust, and reality.
Reina Roja is a gripping blend of intellectual cat-and-mouse, emotional trauma, and deadly conspiracies where nothing is random—and being the smartest person in the room might just get you killed.
