"Solitude sharpens your perception of things"
This is the third book of the Mila Vasquez’s series, preceded by The Whisperer and The Vanished Ones.
We enter Mila’s world from Bruno Genko’s point of view.
Genko is a private detective that investigated Samantha Andretti’s disappearance 15 years ago. Samantha was help captive in a sort of maze where she had to go along the captor’s trials. The chapters are intertwined with Genko’s investigation and Samantha’s testimony. Samantha tell her accounts to Dr. Green, a psychotherapist who works for the Federal Police, in an effort to try to catch the captor that left her injured near a swamp.
This isn’t a typical Carrisi thriller where there are full of forensic technics. Genko doesn’t have the know how therefore, the author couldn’t out that in Genko’s work. However, Carrisi explores the everyday persuasion techniques: clothing, mannerisms, etc. – and that is what makes Genko great at his job, even though he’s a lonely guy. This is the typical crime thriller story – the detective with existential problems.
The narrative is made by the third person from Genko’s POV and with Samantha’ account (flashbacks).
According of what we’re used to with Carrisi’s books, I can define this one by saying: Essentially, more action, less science. The more we read, the more are we enticed with the gloomy plot.
Not undermining his previous works, Carrisi wrote one hell of a book with an explosive ending, as usual.
This thriller as a film adaptation, directed by Donato Carrisi, with Dustin Hoffman as Dr. Green.
Can’t wait for the fourth book!
