Były pracownik FBI Will Graham, znany ze swoich sukcesów w tropieniu seryjnych morderców, powraca do czynnej służby, aby dopomóc policji schwytać maniakalnego zabójcę kilku rodzin. Tymczasem tajemniczy zbrodniarz, pewny swojej bezkarności, wysyła prowadzącym śledztwo listy podpisane "Czerwony smok"…Książka jest napisana bardzo ciekawie, gdyż Harris nie dąży do opisywania krwawych scen tylko zagłębia się nad psychiką ludzką, nad tym co nami kieruje, jaki wpływ na nasze życie ma dzieciństwo. Jak bardzo ludzie mogą być pozbawieni wyrzutów sumienia, skrupułów. Czy jeśli ktoś wyciągnie do nas pomocną dłoń to się opanujemy? nawrócimy? a może już jest za późno. Dzięki tej książce możemy poznać zło: wyrafinowane, brutalne, piekielnie inteligentne i okrutne. A postać Doktora smakuje wybitnie – fascynuje, zadziwia.

Con una impresionante hoja de servicios, el veterano de la guerra de Vietnam Michael J. Lander proyecta un diabólico atentado, que tendrá en jaque a los servicios de seguridad. Cuando concibió la operación, no pensó que necesitaría ayuda, pero, a medida que urdía su plan, decidió darle una nueva dimensión con el apoyo de Septiembre Negro y una coartada política. Poco después, el proyecto cobra forma y le depara un insospechado encuentro con Dahlia Iyad, una hermosa mujer que lucha por la causa de la liberación de Palestina.

Han pasado diez años desde que el Doctor Lecter escapó de sus captores. La agente Sterling no ha podido dejar de pensar en volver a atraparle y cuando aparece un rastro en Florencia comienza la caza.

Sept ans ont passé depuis Le Silence des agneaux. Depuis, Hannibal Lecter vit sous nom d'emprunt à Florence, en Italie, où le faux docteur, vrai serial killer, mène la grande vie. Sur ses traces, Clarice Sterling, agent modèle du FBI. Mais elle n'est pas la seule à le pister : Mason Verger, une des premières victimes d'Hannibal Lecter, attend sa vengeance. La lutte peut-elle être égale entre cet homme cloué à son lit d'hôpital, accroché à son respirateur artificiel, qui tente de tirer parti de toutes les potentialités d'Internet pour mener sa traque, et le redoutable Lecter ?

The sequel to "Silence of the Lambs" marks the return of Dr Hannibal Lecter. One of Hannibal 's victims, the influential and rich Mason Verger – a paraplegic confined to a respirator, thanks to Hannibal – is bent on revenge and Clarice Starling provides the perfect bait.

Amazon.com ReviewDiscover the origins of one of the most feared villains of all time in Thomas Harris's Hannibal Rising, a novel that promises to reveal the "evolution of Hannibal Lecter's evil." Thomas Harris first introduced readers to Hannibal Lecter in Red Dragon, a tale wrapped around FBI agent Will Graham (the man who hunted Lecter down) and his ability to "get inside the mind of the killer." Graham consults Dr. Lecter (the man who nearly killed him) on the case, and the legend of the nefarious Dr. Lecter was born. Harris's masterful and mesmerizing follow up, The Silence of the Lambs wowed fans, but it was Jonathan Demme's terrifying, Oscar-winning (Best Actor, Actress, Director, Picture and Adapted Screenplay) film, and Anthony Hopkins's extraordinary (and arguably over the top) performance that made "Hannibal the Cannibal" a household name. Hannibal, the third book in the Lecter saga made Lecter the prey and seemingly wrapped up the tale of the cannibalistic psychiatrist, but never revealed the source of the doctor's…gifts. Fans have been waiting decades to find out how the good doctor became "death's prodigy," making Hannibal Rising one of the most anticipated books of 2006 (and movies of 2007).

Amazon.com ReviewLying on a cot in his cell with Alexandre Dumas's Le Grand Dictionnaire de Cuisine open on his chest, Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter makes his debut in this legendary horror novel, which is even better than its sequel, The Silence of the Lambs. As in Silence, the pulse-pounding suspense plot involves a hypersensitive FBI sleuth who consults psycho psychiatrist Lecter for clues to catching a killer on the loose.The sleuth, Will Graham, actually quit the FBI after nearly getting killed by Lecter while nabbing him, but fear isn't what bugs him about crime busting. It's just too creepy to get inside a killer's twisted mind. But he comes back to stop a madman who's been butchering entire families. The FBI needs Graham's insight, and Graham needs Lecter's genius. But Lecter is a clever fiend, and he manipulates both Graham and the killer at large from his cell.That killer, Francis Dolarhyde, works in a film lab, where he picks his victims by studying their home movies. He's obsessed with William Blake's bizarre painting The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun, believing there's a red dragon within him, the personification of his demonic drives. Flashbacks to Dolarhyde's terrifying childhood and superb stream-of-consciousness prose get us right there inside his head. When Dolarhyde does weird things, we understand why. We sympathize when the voice of the cruel dead grandma who raised and crazed him urges him to mayhem-she's way scarier than that old bat in Psycho. When he falls in love with a blind girl at the lab, we hope he doesn't give in to Grandma's violent advice.This book is awesomely detailed, ingeniously plotted, judiciously gory, and fantastically imagined. If you haven't read it, you've never had the creeps.

Amazon.com ReviewThe Silence of the Lambs, by Thomas Harris, is even better than the successful movie. Like his earlier Red Dragon, the book takes us inside the world of professional criminal investigation. All the elements of a well-executed thriller are working here-driving suspense, compelling characters, inside information, publicity-hungry bureaucrats thwarting the search, and the clock ticking relentlessly down toward the death of another young woman. What enriches this well-told tale is the opportunity to live inside the minds of both the crime fighters and the criminals as each struggles in a prison of pain and seeks, sometimes violently, relief.Clarice Starling, a precociously self-disciplined FBI trainee, is dispatched by her boss, Section Chief Jack Crawford, the FBI's most successful tracker of serial killers, to see whether she can learn anything useful from Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Lecter's a gifted psychopath whose nickname is "The Cannibal" because he likes to eat parts of his victims. Isolated by his crimes from all physical contact with the human race, he plays an enigmatic game of "Clue" with Starling, providing her with snippets of data that, if she is smart enough, will lead her to the criminal. Undaunted, she goes where the data takes her. As the tension mounts and the bureaucracy thwarts Starling at every turn, Crawford tells her, "Keep the information and freeze the feelings." Insulted, betrayed, and humiliated, Starling struggles to focus. If she can understand Lecter's final, ambiguous scrawl, she can find the killer. But can she figure it out in time?
