"House of Lights" is a continuation of his brilliant novels "House of Voices" and "House Without Memories."

Maija turns to Pietro Gerber, a Florentine hypnotist who works with traumatized children — he himself is not in the best psychological 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 even knows the circumstances surrounding Gerber's death many, many years ago...
