Hannibal Lecter. The ultimate villain of modern fiction. Read the five-million-copy bestseller that scared the world silent...
A young FBI trainee. An evil genius locked away for unspeakable crimes. A plunge into the darkest chambers of a psychopath's mind-- in the deadly search for a serial killer...
Thomas Harris is the author of "Hannibal," "Red Dragon," and "Black Sunday." As part of the search for a serial murderer nicknamed "Buffalo Bill," FBI trainee Clarice Starling is given an assignment. She must visit a man confined to a high-security facility for the criminally insane and interview him.
That man, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, is a former psychiatrist with unusual tastes and an intense curiosity about the darker corners of the mind. His intimate understanding of the killer and of Clarice herself form the core of T"he Silence of the Lambs--"an unforgettable classic of suspense fiction.
"A virtual textbook on the craft of suspense. A master-work of sheer momentum that rockets seamlessly toward its climax . . . Harris is quite simply the best suspense novelist working today."--"The Washington Post "
"A psychological thriller so deftly woven and gripping that a reader can hardly get through one sentence fast enough to discover what's in the next."--Associated Press
"Razor-sharp entertainment, beautifully constructed and brilliantly written. Thrillers don't come any better than this."--Clive Barker
