Cari Mora

By Thomas Harris

Book Overview

A resilient young woman must outwit a sadistic psychopath in this pulse-pounding thriller from the author of The Silence of the Lambs, a "master still at the top of his strange and chilling form" (Wall Street Journal).

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.

Customer Reviews

Extremely well written, engaging story.

This is an extremely beautifully written story. I think it’s one of the best books I e ever read because it combines gorgeous writing with a thrilling story. The writing is gorgeous because it’s simple and direct and descriptive just enough to paint the atmosphere and lead me to care about the characters. The story is thrilling because I care and because the hero is so authentic. I’m in love with this book.

Awful

What in the world did Harris do? This book is awful. I couldn't even finish it. Definitely not like the Hannibal Lecture series.

Does not read like a Thomas Harris

I ordered the book without reading anything but the author's name as his novels have been excellent reads for me. I'm halfway thru this one and struggling not to put it down thinking it must get better. If I didn't know the author's name I would never think it is Harris. It's just not that interesting so far.
