A gripping literary thriller that has taken Italy by storm, The Whisperer has been as sensational a bestseller in Europe as the Stieg Larsson novels. THE WHISPERER, Carrisis first novel, won five international literary prizes, has been sold in nearly twenty countries, and has been translated into languages as varied as French, Danish, Hebrew and Vietnamese. Theirs is a fiery but strangely affecting working relationship - and as they uncover more secrets about the dark secrets in the forest, their lives are increasingly in each other's hands. Donato Carrisi studied law and criminology before he began working as a writer for television. She also has a tragic history of her own that has left her damaged, unable to feel or to relate to others. Lithe, boyish, answering to no one, Mila has a reputation as a specialist in missing children. A dishevelled, instinctively rebellious man, he is forced to work with young female police officer Mila Vasquez. Criminologist Goran Gavila is given the case.
But the rest of the bodies are nowhere to be found. They are arranged in a mysterious circle, and appear to belong to missing girls between the ages of eight and thirteen.

He told me that it was original and although he prides himself on guessing the culprit pretty early on, he didn’t get this one. I was recommended this book by a bookseller in Waterstones while browsing in the crime section the other week. Roche and Gavila bring in Mila Vasquez, a specialist in cases involving children, and Mila discovers that the real killer is one who has never lifted a finger against the girls – but merely psychologically instructs others to do his work: a ‘subliminal killer’ – the hardest to catch.” And he seems to be taunting them, leading them to discover each small corpse in turn but the clues on the bodies point to several different killers. A team led by Captain Roche and internationally renowned criminologist Goran Gavila are on the trail of a serial killer whose ferocity seems to have no limits.
