La Reina Del Sur - Fiction??


Okay, I'm fightng with my mom on this. I get that this was based off the novel la Reina del Sur. But my mom thinks that Teresa Mendoza was an actual person. I'm saying she's not, because I found this quote:

The theme song, performed by Los Cuates de Sinaloa, is a cover of Los Tigres del Norte's 2002 song, "La Reina del Sur," a satire of the narcocorrido genre whose lyrics recount the story of Perez Reverte's fictional heroine.



So, was Teresa Mandoza an actual person, or did Perez-Reverte base that character off someone else? Thanks for the help!

It's based on a great novel by Perez Reverte.
This show is good, but the book is amazing!

I had information that the book was based on an actual person, but that the names were changed to protect the guilty.
