THE CLASSIC THRILLER BEHIND THE OSCAR-WINNING MOVIE
FBI trainee Clarice Starling has an elusive serial killer to hunt.
Only one man can help.
Psychopathic cannibal Hannibal Lecter...
The serial killer nicknamed 'Buffalo Bill' has been capturing and starving women, then murdering and skinning them. FBI rookie Clarice Starling is assigned to solicit help from imprisoned psychopath Dr Hannibal 'the Cannibal' Lecter, whose insight into the depraved minds of serial killers is second to none.
But in exchange for inviting her into the darkest chambers of his mind, Hannibal begins to probe at hers, demanding knowledge of her childhood demons as the price of understanding Buffalo Bill's.
Clarice knows how dangerous this man is, and the terrible things he can do with this information. But women are still disappearing, and time is running out...

Review
"Thrillers don't come any better than this. Razor-sharp entertainment, beautifully constructed and brilliantly written. It takes us to places in the mind where few writers have the talent or sheer nerve to venture." --Clive Barker 

"The best book I've read in a very long time. Subtle, horrific and splendid" --Roald Dahl

"A snapshot from hell" --Rolling Stone
联邦调查局的实习生史达琳要跟心理学专家兼杀人魔王汉尼拔斗志斗勇，希望能借助对方的心理分析破获一桩连环杀人案，同时又不能让他利用自己越狱。正当案件悬而未决的时刻，汉尼拔巧妙地越狱了……
托马斯·哈里斯是个和蔼可亲的络腮胡子，他每晚给母亲打个电话报平安，他精通厨艺，喜欢给朋友做美食。只有当埋头书斋时，他才变成那个游走于心理迷宫的悬疑作家，那个深不可测的汉尼拔医生的创造者。虽然只出了五部小说，但已使他成为公认的悬疑小说宗师。其中《沉默的羔羊》系列尤为经典，它们将悬疑小说带入了经典文学的殿堂，在悬疑文学史上是难以逾越的巅峰。他的作品全部被好莱坞改编为电影。电影《沉默的羔羊》成为美国电影史上第三部包揽奥斯卡五项大奖的影片。

Thomas Harrisis the author of five novels and may be best known for his character Hannibal Lecter. All of his books have been made into films, including most notably the multiple Oscar winner, The Silence of The Lambs. Harris began his writing career covering crime in the United States and Mexico, and was a reporter and editor at the Associated Press in New York.
BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE, the FBI section that deals with serial murder, is on the bottom floor of the Academy building at Quantico, half-buried in the earth. Clarice Starling reached it flushed after a fast walk from Hogan’s Alley on the firing range. She had grass in her hair and grass stains on her FBI Academy windbreaker from diving to the ground under tire in an arrest problem on the range.
No one was in the outer office, so she fluffed briefly by her reflection in the glass doors. She knew she could look all right without primping. Her hands smelled of gunsmoke, but there ‘as no time to wash—Section Chief Crawford’s summons had said now.
She found Jack Crawford alone in the cluttered suite of offices. He was standing at someone else’s desk talking on the telephone and she had a chance to look him over for the first time in a year. What she saw disturbed her.
Normally, Crawford looked like a fit, middle-aged engineer who might have paid his way through college playing baseball—a crafty catcher, tough when he blocked the plate. No’ he was thin, his shirt collar was too big, and he had dark puffs under his red-dened eyes. Everyone who could read the papers knew Behavioral Science Section was catching hell. Starling hoped Crawford wasn’t on the juice. That seemed most unlikely here.
Crawford ended his telephone conversation with a sharp “No.” He took her file from under his arm and opened it.
“Starling, Clarice M., good morning, ” he said.
“Hello. ” Her smile was only polite.
“Nothing’s wrong. I hope the call didn’t spook you.”
“No.” Not totally true, Starling thought.
“sour instructors tell me you’re doing well, top quarter of the class.”
“I hope so, the’ haven’t posted anything.”
“I ask them from time to time.”
That surprised Starling; she had written Crawford off as a two-faced recruiting sergeant son of a bitch.
She had met Special Agent Crawford when he was a guest lecturer at the University of Virginia. The quality of his criminology seminars was a factor in her coming to the Bureau. She wrote him a note when she qualified for the Academy, but he never replied, and, for the three months she had been a trainee at Quantico, he had ignored her.
