Overview

A NEW NOVEL FROM THOMAS HARRIS - CREATOR OF HANNIBAL LECTER - HIS FIRST IN 13 YEARS Random House presents the audiobook edition of Cari Mora, written by Thomas Harris. ________________________________ 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. ________________________________ '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 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 * `I hope with all my heart that [Harris] will write again, and sooner rather than later - novels that bravely and cleverly erase the line between popular fiction and literature are very much to be prized.' -- Stephen King `Harris's writing bears the hallmarks of honed perfection.' * The Times *

As good as ever. Reading his prose is like running a slow hand down cold silk. -- Stephen King The good news for readers of Cari Mora is that Hannibal is here in spirit if not in person. This is a very peculiar book, lavishly ridiculous in almost every respect and fully committed to the gothic extremes of human cruelty ... Sounds like fun, right? Well, it is ... There are decapitations, multiple dismemberments and brains dripping off ceilings. Also, a certain amount of lyrical stuff about manatees and seabirds, and some comic business with a foul-mouthed cockatoo ... What his fans look for is here - turned up to 11. -- Sam Leith * Spectator * Thomas Harris set the bar for modern suspense writing ... [Cari Mora is] a tense heist thriller, plausibly grounded in coastal Florida and urban Colombia ... Harris's best since The Silence of the Lambs -- Leo Robson * 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 *
