The Lost Girls of Rome
Autor Donato Carrisien Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 noi 2013
Sandra Vega, a forensic analyst with the Roman police department, mourns deeply for a marriage that ended too soon. A few months ago, in the dead of night, her husband, an up-and-coming journalist, plunged to his death at the top of a high-rise construction site. The police ruled it an accident. Sanda is convinced it was anything but.
Launching her own inquiries, Sanda finds herself on a dangerous trail, working the same case that she is convinced led to her husband's murder. An investigation which is deeply entwined with a series of disappearances that has swept the city, and brings Sandra ever closer to a centuries-old secret society that will do anything to stay in the shadows.

Recenzii
"The
crime
novels
imported
from
Europe
in
the
last
few
years
have
been
a
mixed
lot,
too
often
favoring
atmosphere
over
plot,
but
in
his
second
book
Donato
Carrisi
strikes
the
balance
perfectly...Sandra
and
Marcus
are
both
likeable
and
intelligent,
and
the
book's
multiple
storylines
find
their
resolution
nicely."—Charles

"Masterful. With each chapter, THE LOST GIRLS OF ROME jumps from one plotline to the next, back and forth between the present and one year ago. Carrisi uses this device to full advantage, building suspense to almost unbearable (and perhaps supernatural) levels, all the way to a truly surprising ending."—Bruce Tierney,BookPage
"Very well written. Reminiscent of books like Carlos Ruiz Zafón's classicThe Shadow of the Wind, Carrisi's work has a dreamy, other worldly feel about it; the prose is literate, lyrical, knowing, dense without being wordy, erudite without being pretentious."—Hank Wagner,Mystery Scene
"With references to theMonster of Florence, a medieval serial murderer, and a secret Vatican sect, Carrisi's literary thriller draws readers into a labyrinth of evil. Carrisi writes beautifully [and] intimately appreciates Rome, its chapels, its narrow alleyways, its fountains and gardens. A powerful psychological drama."
—Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"With a lot of separate subplots, intricate details, and twists, this novel has plenty for readers to follow, but those who can keep up will be rewarded with a satisfying conclusion."—Library Journal
PRAISE FORTHE WHISPERER:
"One hell of a ride. This story screams high tension, high stakes and high velocity. Superb."—Michael Connelly
"Brilliant andverycreepy. A great book."—Ken Follett
"Donato Carrisi has a unique gift for blending fascinating forensic detail, mind-bending plot twists, and empathetic characters into a seamless, powerful narrative. THE WHISPERER intrigues, informs, and haunts simultaneously, a novel that will linger in the mind long after you've finished."—Michael Koryta
"Brutally awesome--Thomas Harris by way of Ian Rankin."—Will Lavender
