A home on the Miami Beach shoreline has twenty-five million dollars in cartel riches concealed beneath it. For years, ruthless men have been tracking it. Hans-Peter Schneider is the leader of the pack. He makes a profession fleshing out the horrific imaginations of other, wealthier men, driven by horrible desires.
Cari Mora, the house's caregiver, has fled the unrest in her own country. She remains in Miami under a shaky Temporary Protected Status, which is susceptible to ICE's whims. To make ends meet, she works many jobs. Cari, beautiful and scarred by battle, captures Hans-eye Peter's as he approaches the treasure. Cari Mora, on the other hand, has some startling abilities, and her resolve to survive has been put to the test before.
In the cracks between masculine desire and female survival, monsters lurk. Thomas Harris, more than any other writer in the last century, has imagined those creatures with horrifying mastery. His sixth novel, Cari Mora, is a long-awaited comeback of an American master.
Monsters know when they are recognized, just as bores do.
