Smart and attractive, Starling is shaken to find herself in a strange, intense relationship with the acutely perceptive Lecter. Lecter's insight into the minds of murders could help track and capture Buffalo Bill. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist and grisly killer now kept under close watch in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

Clarice Starling, a young trainee at the F.B.I. He has a purpose, but no one can fathom it, for the bodies are discovered in different states. A serial murderer known only by a grotesquely apt nickname - Buffalo Bill - is stalking particular women.
Of his previous novel, Stephen King wrote, "The book simply comes at you and comes at you, finally leaving you shaken and sober and afraid on a deeper level than simple 'thrills' alone furnish." Harris' new book is his most powerful and provocative, a novel with an impact unlike any other.
Thomas Harris will seize you with an emotion more profound than terror.
