Kurzbeschreibung
The thriller that launched Hannibal Lecter's legacy of evil. Now fans of the new Sky Living TV series Hannibal can read the books that launched a legend.
Beschreibung
Sexual hunger; demonic violence; sinister logic - the lethal components of a deadly formula driving a psychopath in the grip of an unimagin-able delusion; a boastful killer who sends the police tormenting notes; a tortured, torturing monster who finds ultimate pleasure in viciously murdering happy families, and calls himself. . . The Red Dragon.
Klappentext
THE ICONIC CULT CLASSIC - THE THRILLER SERIES THAT CREATED DR HANNIBAL LECTER
The chilling first book in the bestselling psychological crime thriller series behind the Oscar Award-winning film, The Silence of the Lambs.
'The best popular novel published since The Godfather' Stephen King
Will Graham was a brilliant profiler of criminals for the FBI - until he suffered terrible injuries in the process of capturing Dr Hannibal 'the Cannibal' Lecter.
Years later, a new serial killer is terrorising America. Dubbed the 'Tooth Fairy' by the press, he murders entire families under the full moon, leaving no witnesses behind.
With no leads and time running out, the FBI turns to the one man who understands the minds of psychopaths better than anyone: Will Graham.
To catch a monster, Graham must confront another - Hannibal Lecter.
But Hannibal is playing his own twisted game from the asylum for the criminally insane. And Will isn't the only one getting advice from the cannibal...
