________________________________ From the creator of Hannibal
Lecter and The Silence of the Lambs comes a story of evil, greed
and the consequences of dark obsession.
________________________________ Twenty-five million dollars in
cartel gold lies hidden beneath a mansion on the Miami Beach
waterfront. Ruthless men have tracked it for years. Leading the
pack is Hans-Peter Schneider. Driven by unspeakable appetites, he
makes a living fleshing out the violent fantasies of other, richer
men. Cari Mora, caretaker of the house, has escaped from the
violence in her native country. She stays in Miami on a wobbly
Temporary Protected Status, subject to the iron whim of ICE. She
works at many jobs to survive. Beautiful, marked by war, Cari
catches the eye of Hans-Peter as he closes in on the treasure. But
Cari Mora has surprising skills, and her will to survive has been
tested before. Monsters lurk in the crevices between male desire
and female survival. No other writer in the last century has
conjured those monsters with more terrifying brilliance than Thomas
Harris. Cari Mora, his sixth novel, is the long-awaited return of
an American master. ________________________________ 'As good as
ever. Reading his prose is like running a slow hand down cold
silk.' STEPHEN KING 'The last two decades of 19th century popular
fiction were dominated by Conan Doyle and Sherlock Homes. A century
on, suspense literature has achieved their equals in Thomas
Harris.' GUARDIAN 'Harris's writing bears the hallmarks of honed
perfection.' THE TIMES 'The good news for readers of Cari Mora is
that Hannibal is here in spirit if not in person ... What his fans
look for is here - turned up to 11.' SPECTATOR 'A tense heist
thriller ... Harris's best since The Silence of the Lambs' NEW
STATESMAN 'Cari Mora reinforces the brilliance of an author who can
carve a piece of art from the placement of words on a page to form
a narrative that scorches the mind, and makes one think.' SHOTS
MAGAZINE 'A literary event ... Thomas Harris is a supreme thriller
writer - for not only does he create memorable and monstrous
villains, but he also gives us formidable female protagonists ...
Violent, brutal and action-packed, yet told with Harris's typical
wry wit, it crackles from first page to last.' DAILY MAIL 'A
cavalcade of the grotesque, with murderous figures that make
Hannibal the Cannibal, the Tooth Fairy and Buffalo Bill appear like
upright citizens from small-town America ... Hollywood directors
will be dreaming of a golden windfall by putting this page-clawing
thriller on to the big screen. Harris is a superlative storyteller
with an eye for the director's cut.' DAILY EXPRESS 'Thomas Harris,
the creator of Hannibal Lecter, is the greatest thriller writer of
our time ... An expertly delivered and fast-paced thriller, full of
distinctively Harrisian inflections' EVENING STANDARD 'A gripping
tale of lost cartel gold ... No shortage of physical action ...
Harris delivers a narrative that is absolutely cut to the bone'
FINANCIAL TIMES 'Pulse-boosting suspense ...Harris's flavourful
prose: laconic, tough-guy Hemingway one moment ... then veering off
into imagery of a Baroque luxuriance ... Harris evokes the poetry
of everyday life - especially the natural world.' i NEWS
