Their disturbing uncoverings include: A network of pedophiles comprised of well-to-do, outwardly respectable folk a prisoner who leaves no traces of his DNA terrified kids forced into mock smiles for photographs and a web of grisly and sadistic murders that have connections to the abductions. Gory and gruesome discoveries escalate as Vasquez and Gavila become plunged into an investigation with profoundly personal resonances. As it becomes likely that the five known abductees may well be dead, Mila puts her focus on the mysterious sixth amputee, who is possibly the lone survivor. She is especially skilled at finding children. Vasquez is a specialist in locating lost persons. Called into the case are brilliant criminologist Goran Gavila and Officer Mila Vasquez. Five girls are known to have been recently abducted, prompting questions about the sixth appendage…and what has become of the remainder of the missing bodies. Without divulging too much of the plot, the bare bones scenario is: The severed left arms of six young girls are discovered, buried in a circle. Manipulative to the max, the book is a riveting read that injects the tired serial killer subgenre with a well needed stimulant. Elusive and entrancing, The Whisperer takes the notion of cat-and-mouse to another level: teasing and confounding the reader along with the story’s criminal investigators. The narrative initially appears to be moving on a straight linear path, then does a fake in a different direction repeatedly. The novel, which has already created a stir in Europe, is a psychological thriller with more twists and turns than a cornered politician. Nothing is quite what it seems in Donato Carrisi’s The Whisperer.
