Synopsis

A gripping literary thriller and smash bestseller that has taken Italy, France, Germany and the UK by storm.

Six severed arms are discovered, arranged in a mysterious circle and buried in a clearing in the woods. Five of them appear to belong to missing girls between the ages of eight and eighteen. The sixth is yet to be identified. Worse still, the girls' bodies, alive or dead, are nowhere to be found.

Lead investigators Mila Vasquez, a celebrated profiler, and Goran Gavila, an eerily prescient criminologist, dive into the case. They're confident they've got the right suspect in their sights until they discover no link between him and any of the kidnappings except the first. The evidence in the case of the second missing child points in a vastly different direction, creating more questions than it answers.

Vasquez and Gavila begin to wonder if they've been brought in to take the fall in a near-hopeless case. Is it all coincidence? Or is a copycat criminal at work? Obsessed with a case that becomes more tangled and intense as they unravel the layers of evil, Gavila and Vasquez find that their lives are increasingly in each other's hands.

The Whisperer, as sensational a bestseller in Europe as the Stieg Larsson novels, is that rare creation: a thought-provoking, intelligent thriller that is also utterly unputdownable.

Triler koji je kod nas preveden pod nazivom "Šaptač" ujedno je i prvi roman italijanskog pisca Donata Karizija. Karizi je moj kolega :) diplomirao je pravo, a potom pohađao i specijalističke kurseve iz kriminologije i biheviorizma. Autor na kraju knjige napominje da je "Šaptač" inspirisan slučajevim......more

C'est le roman qui m'a poussé à lire encore plus sur la criminologie et de la mieux comprendre ! c'est une aventure qui coupe le souffle avec chaque chapitre très captivant, trop mystérieux je l'ai adoré sans aucun doute et sa fin était choquante !!!

Yes, this is my review from Amazon copy/pasted. Just a warning, I tend to ramble, so this might be a bit discombobulated. Alright? Alright. Leggo. First things first. Is it terrifying? Chilling? Will it make you afraid of the dark? Should it be read only in the company of others, that you might have so......more

2/5 Nepopuliari nuomonė, žinau, žinau. Bet apie šitos knygos receptą greitai ir trumpai: imam bylą. Tada į tarpus dedam dar daug skirtingų bylų. Paimam vieną psichiškai palaužtą detektyvę, kuri tarsi turi truputį paranormalių galių, tada vieną labai mistišką ir neperkandamą psichą, daug pagrobtų merg......more
