Bøger i Hannibal Lecter serien

An FBI trainee. A psychopath locked up for unspeakable crimes. And a serial killer getting ever closer to his latest victim... FBI rookie Clarice Starling turns to Dr Hannibal Lecter, monster cannibal held in a hospital for the criminally insane, for insight into the deadly madman she must find.

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.

Hannibal killed nine people before he was caught. And five on his escape. Two of his victims survived - one of them craves revenge. He is very rich and very influential, and his reach extends into the echelons of power around the world. His need to find Hannibal is insatiable. In Clarice Starling, he has the perfect bait

Living with his uncle and his uncle's beautiful and exotic wife, Lady Murasaki, Hannibal Lecter flourishes with Lady Murasaki's help. But his old demons visit him and torment him. When he is old enough, he visits them in turn. He discovers he has gifts beyond the academic, and in that epiphany, Hannibal Lecter becomes death's prodigy.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • "Is it as good as Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs? No . . . this one is better."-Stephen King, The New York Times Book ReviewYou remember Hannibal Lecter: gentleman, genius, cannibal. Seven years have passed since Dr. Lecter escaped from custody. And for seven years he's been at large, free to savor the scents, the essences, of an unguarded world. But intruders have entered Dr. Lecter's world, piercing his new identity, sensing the evil that surrounds him. For the multimillionaire Hannibal left maimed, for a corrupt Italian policeman, and for FBI agent Clarice Starling, who once stood before Lecter and who has never been the same, the final hunt for Hannibal Lecter has begun. All of them, in their separate ways, want to find Dr. Lecter. And all three will get their wish. But only one will live long enough to savor the reward. . . .
