'As good as ever. Reading his prose is like running a slow hand down cold silk.' STEPHEN KING
'The last two decades of 19th century popular fiction were dominated by Conan Doyle and
Sherlock Homes. A century on suspense literature has achieved their equals in Thomas Harris.'
GUARDIAN 'Harris's writing bears the hallmarks of honed perfection.' THE TIMES 'The good news
for readers of Cari Mora is that Hannibal is here in spirit if not in person ... What his fans
look for is here - turned up to 11.' SPECTATOR 'A tense heist thriller ... Harris's best since
The Silence of the Lambs' NEW STATESMAN 'Cari Mora reinforces the brilliance of an author who
can carve a piece of art from the placement of words on a page to form a narrative that
scorches the mind and makes one think.' SHOTS MAGAZINE 'A literary event ... Thomas Harris is
a supreme thriller writer - for not only does he create memorable and monstrous villains but
he also gives us formidable female protagonists ... Violent brutal and action-packed yet told
with Harris's typical wry wit it crackles from first page to last.'DAILY MAIL 'A cavalcade of
the grotesque with murderous figures that make Hannibal the Cannibal the Tooth Fairy and
Buffalo Bill appear like upright citizens from small-town America ... Hollywood directors will
be dreaming of a golden windfall by putting this page-clawing thriller on to the big screen.
Harris is a superlative storyteller with an eye for the director's cut.' DAILY EXPRESS 'Thomas
Harris the creator of Hannibal Lecter is the greatest thriller writer of our time ... An
expertly delivered and fast-paced thriller full of distinctively Harrisian inflections'
EVENING STANDARD 'A gripping tale of lost cartel gold ... No shortage of physical action ...
Harris delivers a narrative that is absolutely cut to the bone' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Pulse-boosting
suspense ...Harris's flavourful prose: laconic tough-guy Hemingway one moment ... then veering
off into imagery of a Baroque luxuriance ... Harris evokes the poetry of everyday life -
especially the natural world.' i NEWS
