The pinnacle of creativity from the greatest master of the genre. The second novel about Hannibal Lecter. One of the most iconic thrillers of the 20th century. Its sensational adaptation with Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster received five Oscars. A young FBI trainee will have to face evil in the flesh - Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Each of them plays their own game to achieve their goals. Who will outsmart the other in this showdown? "The hypnotic figure of Dr. Hannibal Lecter - the cult anti-hero of contemporary literature - emerges from the pages of the novel in full height." - Publishers Weekly "A true textbook on the art of creating a tense plot, an absolute masterpiece that smoothly builds up to its climax... Harris is probably the best author working in this genre today." - The Washington Post "Each novel by Thomas Harris is polished perfection." - The Times "No one has ever explored the darkness in people's souls more thoroughly and objectively than Thomas Harris. And probably no one else is capable of doing so." - The Washington Post "The last two decades of the 19th century were dominated in the detective genre by Conan Doyle with his Sherlock Holmes. A century later, Thomas Harris reached the same heights in the genre." - Guardian "Reading Harris's novels is like slowly running your hand over cold silk." - Stephen King "Incredible talent." - Ian Rankin
