      Forensic expert Dr. David Hunter finds himself on a remote Scottish island, drawn into a chilling murder investigation after examining a set of human remains. Instead of being in London with the woman he loves, he is called to the Outer Hebrides to assist a beleaguered local cop. What he discovers is shocking: a woman's charred remains, burned beyond recognition in an unoccupied cottage. While local authorities lean towards an accidental death, Hunter’s analysis of the victim's skull reveals a sinister truth—she was murdered by someone from the island. As he delves deeper, the situation escalates when two more people die in fires. Hunter's expertise lies in coaxing the dead to share their stories, and as he begins to hear them, he uncovers a web of secrets within the tight-knit community of Runa. The investigation reveals the hidden resentments of a wealthy couple, the bitterness of an ex-cop, and the struggles of a lonely single mother. As Hunter peels back the layers of deception, the narrative unfolds into a tale of rage and perversion, culminating in a series of violent acts and shocking revelations.

      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.
