      Za odľahlou dedinou Manham v Norfolku sa nájde znetvorená mŕtvola Sally Palmerovej. Doktora Huntera sa udalosť dotkne nielen preto, že mladú ženu osobne poznal - bývalý londýnsky súdny antropológ sa už tri roky snaží zabudnúť na tragickú smrť svojich blízkych práve na vidieku. A tak vo chvíli, keď ho polícia požiada, aby jej pomohol vypátrať vraha, najprv odmietne, aby v sebe neoživil spomienky na bolestnú minulosť. V Manhame sa nájdu aj ďalšie znetvorené telá ľudí i zvierat. Dovtedy pokojnú dedinu ovládne nevraživosť, strach a panika. Tieň podozrenia padne aj na Davida Huntera. On jediný má však znalosti, aby brutálneho vraha zastavil...

      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.

      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.
