Six severed hands are found buried in the forest. They are arranged in a strange circle and appear to belong to the missing girls between the ages of 8 and 13. However, the remains of the bodies cannot be found. Criminologist Goran Gavila will be in charge of the case. An unruly, rebellious man must work with a young police officer, Mila Vasquez, who has a reputation as an expert in cases of missing children. She is marked by her own tragic past, which left unhealed wounds in her and deprived her of the ability to feel. It is an explosive but strangely functioning relationship. And when they uncover another secret in the forest, their lives are more in each other's hands than before. A breathtaking literary thriller that swept Italy. The Whisperer unleashed a storm similar to Stieg Larsson's novels. This novel is exceptional - it is provocative, intelligent and unyielding.
