Hannibal Lecter emerges from the nightmare of the Eastern Front, a boy in the snow, mute, with a chain around his neck. He seems utterly alone, but he has brought his demons with him. Hannibal’s uncle, a noted painter, finds him in a Soviet orphanage and brings him to France, where Hannibal will live with his uncle and his uncle’s beautiful and exotic wife, Lady Murasaki. Lady Murasaki helps Hannibal to heal. With her help he flourishes, becoming the youngest person ever admitted to medical school in France. But Hannibal’s demons visit him and torment him. When he is old enough, he visits them in turn. He discovers he has gifts beyond the academic, and in that epiphany, Hannibal Lecter becomes death’s prodigy.
Pod vilou na morskom pobreží Miami Beach leží zlatý poklad drogového kartelu v hodnote dvadsaťpäť miliónov dolárov. Dlhé roky po ňom sliedia muži, ktorých vedie Hans-Peter Schneider, zvrhlý sadista. Živí sa zohavovaním mladých dievčat pre bohatých klientov. Cari Mora utiekla pred násilím a brutalitou z rodnej Kolumbie a vo vile na pobreží pracuje ako gazdiná. V Miami žije iba s dočasným ochranným štatútom, ktorý jej imigračný úrad môže kedykoľvek odobrať. Krásna, vojnou poznačená Cari Mora predstavuje pre Schneidera lukratívnu korisť, no po tom, ako narazí na zlato, aj vážnu prekážku. Dievčina však dobre pozná zásady prežitia v nehostinných podmienkach. Jej vlastná minulosť ju predurčila na nerovný boj. V zákutiach mužskej žiadostivosti a ženského pudu sebazáchovy striehnu monštrá. Za posledných sto rokov sa nenašiel autor, ktorý by ich priviedol k životu presvedčivejšie než Thomas Harris. Cari Mora, jeho šiesty román, je dlho očakávaný návrat americkej spisovateľskej legendy.
