House of Lights

Donato Carrisi is a renowned Italian writer and screenwriter, a specialist in criminalistics and behavioral sciences, a laureate of the Italian Bancarella Prize (2009), the French Prix SNCF du polar (2011), and others, the author of bestsellers translated into more than 30 languages and sold in millions of copies. Three of his books — "The Girl in the Fog" (2017), "The Girl in the Labyrinth" (2019), and "I Am the Abyss" (2022) — were adapted into films by Carrisi himself. "House of Lights" is a continuation of his brilliant novels "The House of Whispers" and "The House Without Memories". In the house on the hill lives a ten-year-old girl named Eva — without parents, but with a housekeeper and a Finnish student, who is also her nanny, Maija Salo. And Eva also has an imaginary friend, and what this friend says and does raises concern. Maija turns to Pietro Gerber, a Florentine hypnotist who works with traumatized children — he himself is not in the best mental state after the events of the previous novels, but there is no one else to help Eva. Gerber takes on the case — and it turns out that Eva's imaginary friend knows too much about Gerber. This mysterious friend knows even the circumstances that surrounded Gerber's death many, many years ago… For the first time in Russian!
