Books like Cari Mora by Thomas Harris

Twenty‑five million dollars in cartel gold lies buried beneath a mansion on the Miami Beach waterfront. A cadre of ruthless men, led by Hans‑Peter Schneider, has chased the treasure for years. Schneider, a professional who thrives on fulfilling violent fantasies for wealthy clients, turns his attention to the house’s caretaker, Cari Mora. Escaped from violence in her native country and living on a fragile Temporary Protected Status in Miami, Cari works multiple jobs to survive. Her beauty and war‑scarred resilience catch Schneider’s eye as he approaches the house. But Cari possesses unexpected skills and a seasoned will to survive. In the shadows of male desire and female survival, monstrous motives surface. Thomas Harris’ sixth novel, it marks the long‑awaited return of an American master of suspense.
