She tends the plants, the pool, the collection of Hollywood curios, and the cockatoo, content to work many jobs and keep a low profile, always wary of her immigration status in a newly xenophobic country. Cari Mora is an entirely Hannibal Lecter-free novel what better occasion for the literary world to take some revenge for having been held in thrall to the character for two decades by calling that thrall a fluke?Ĭari Mora’s title character, Caridad Mora, is a twenty-five-year-old caretaker of an abandoned Miami Beach mansion that once belonged to infamous drug dealer Pablo Escobar. So the new novel, Cari Mora, is likely to attract all the wrong kinds of interest, with Hannibal fans looking for a new monster to love and bookmakers wondering not if but how badly Harris is off his game. And it’s been a whopping 44 years since Harris last wrote a book that in no way featured Lecter, Black Sunday from 1975. It’s been 13 years since Thomas Harris last produced a novel, 2006’s Hannibal Rising, about the youthful adventures of his signature fictional creation, Hannibal Lecter.
