His first standalone novel since Black Sunday (1975) and his overall first novel since Hannibal Rising (2006), author Thomas Harris (The Silence of the Lambs) is returning later this year with an all-new thriller, now available for pre-order and set to be released on May 21, 2019. This week, we’ve learned that the title of Harris’ first novel in 13 years is Cari Mora.
Here’s the full rundown of the 320-page novel, from Grand Central Publishing.
“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.”
