RED DRAGON The novel that launched Hannibal Lecter's legacy of evil.
Sexual hunger; demonic violence; sinister logic - the lethal components of a deadly formula driving a psychopath in the grip of an unimaginable 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.
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS The most frightening book you'll ever read.
There's a killer on the loose who knows that beauty is only skin deep, and a trainee investigator who's trying to save her own hide.
The only man that can help is locked up in an asylum. But he's willing to put a brave face on - if it will help him escape. --front flap
