"THE WHISPERER is one hell of a ride. This story screams high tension, high stakes and high velocity. Superb."―Michael Connelly

"Brilliant and very creepy....a great book."―Ken Follett

"Brutally awesome--Thomas Harris by way of Ian Rankin."―Will Lavender, New York Times bestselling author of Obedience and Dominance

"Employs the graceful turns of phrase common to literary fiction ... Carrisi's villain is a suitable cohort for Hannibal Lecter, and his detectives are intelligently nuanced, each struggling, sometimes failing, to cope with the depravity into which they immerse themselves in the name of good. A haunting, disconcerting, devastating portrait of evil."―Kirkus Reviews

"Exquisite. Readers who appreciate manipulation, both of plots and themselves, by the author, and those who appreciate a shock of bloody horror will be absolutely enthralled by this offering."―Library Journal (starred review)

"A murder mystery. A puzzle. A challenge. An intriguing portrait of society, of you and me."―EDGE Boston

"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

"Intricate plotting. Major surprises. THE WHISPERER has already won several literary awards and have been a bestseller all over Europe. I predict no less for it here."―BookPage

"Intriguing ... an engagingly gruesome tale."―Publishers Weekly
