_______________________

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.

Cari Mora, caretaker of the house, has escaped the violence of her native country.

Beautiful and marked by war, she catches the eye of Hans-Peter Schneider, the insatiably violent leader of the group of men looking for the gold.

But Cari has surprising skills, and her will to survive has been tested before…

‘Tantalising and engaging’

‘Expertly delivered and fast-paced.’

Evening Standard

‘A supreme thriller.'

Daily Mail

‘Memorably horrific.’

Financial Times

‘Like running a slow hand down cold silk.’

Stephen King

Reviews

As good as ever. Reading his prose is like running a slow hand down cold silk.

—— Stephen King

The good news for readers of Cari Mora is that Hannibal is here in spirit if not in person. This is a very peculiar book, lavishly ridiculous in almost every respect and fully committed to the gothic extremes of human cruelty ... Sounds like fun, right? Well, it is … There are decapitations, multiple dismemberments and brains dripping off ceilings. Also, a certain amount of lyrical stuff about manatees and seabirds, and some comic business with a foul-mouthed cockatoo … What his fans look for is here – turned up to 11.

—— Sam Leith , Spectator

Thomas Harris set the bar for modern suspense writing[Cari Mora is] a tense heist thriller, plausibly grounded in coastal Florida and urban Colombia ... Harris’s best since The Silence of the Lambs

—— Leo Robson , 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

As you would expect from the author this is violent, gruesome and terrifyingly tense.

—— Sun

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. In Cari Mora, Harris has plumbed the depths of Dante’s Inferno to craft characters who see violent death as a lucrative career … Harris turns up the heat … 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 timeAn expertly delivered and fast-paced thriller, full of distinctively Harrisian inflections So here is that utterly distinctive imaginative world again … A fierce read.

—— 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

A supreme thriller with a great female protagonist, this is Harris at his wry best.

—— Daily Mail

Written with gusto […] the pleasure in this one is watching Harris unwind.

—— Daily Telegraph

Beautifully written and fun.

—— Daily Express

If you like your mysteries atmospheric then I highly recommend The Glass House - it's the kind of book that makes you look up in surprise at your present-day surroundings. Long-fused mysteries in the past and present take tantalisingly long time to weave together but the wait is absolutely worth it. Beautiful, transportive writing

Eve Chase is right up there with Tana French and Sarah Waters as an author who writes page-turning masterpieces that meld a vibrant sense of place with a heartbreaking cast of characters. I devoured her latest, and will be recommending it to everyone I know. Her plot twists floored me, and this haunting story will stay with me for a very long time

Chase handles the various unexpected ways our earliest experiences shape and define us with huge empathy and sensitivity. It's an evocative and engrossing read

—— Katherine Webb , author of The Legacy

Bewitching and beguiling, The Glass House is as dark and tangled as the forest where it is set. A creeping sense of unease builds to a terrific denouement - as suspenseful as the mistress of psychological drama, Daphne Du Maurier. Eve Chase is simply brilliant.
