Hannibal [Thomas Harris]

Translated from English

Seven years have passed since the most notorious serial killer of all time escaped captivity. Dr. Hannibal Lecter still roams, enjoying the tastes and smells of an unsuspecting world. But FBI agent Clarice Starling has not forgotten her encounters with the doctor, and his rasping voice still haunts her dreams.

Mason Verger also remembers Dr. Lecter. He was his sixth victim. Verger is the wealthy owner of a pork slaughterhouse empire and is obsessed with revenge. From his respirator, Verger has spun a global web. But to catch the doctor, he needs an exquisite and innocent-looking bait; the thing Lecter tastes best.

Powerful, hypnotic, utterly original – Hannibal is a dizzying feast of the imagination. Be prepared for a hellish ride at the hands of a master who will permanently change the world you thought you knew. Hannibal is the magnum opus of one of the greatest living thriller authors. In all its gruesomeness, it is an ethical work, a book about the banality of evil, guilt and atonement, redemption and transformation, and the many forms betrayal can take.
