With his last book. Red Dragon, Thomas Harris took the popular novel into new dimensions of suspense and terror. 'The book simply comes at you and comes at you,' wrote Stephen King, 'finally leaving you shaken and sober and afraid on a deeper level than simple "thrills" alone furnish.'
In The Silence of the Lambs Harris has surpassed even that extraordinary achievement and created a novel that will be talked about for years to come.
A killer is attacking women across the United States. His methods are horrifying, his motives unknown; he has a purpose, but no one can fathom it. No one except Dr Hannibal Lecter, brilliant psychiatrist and homicidal genius, now confined in strict isolation in a hospital for the criminally insane.
Clarice Starling, a young FBI trainee, is assigned to interview Lecter, to match her wits against his in a race against time to save another young woman from the grotesque fate that has befallen the previous victims. In the process she is drawn along a path of sheer terror, a descent ever deeper into her own memories and nightmares, towards a discovery of incomparable horror.
A masterpiece of suspense and a terrifying study of pure evil. The Silence of the Lambs is a living nightmare - but you won't want it to end. Vissza
