Red Dragon (Hannibal Lecter, #1)

Product description 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. Special agent Will Graham has been assigned to similar cases before, cases where he was able to see and feel WITH the madmen, anticipate their moves and, most terrifying of all, be vulnerable to their horrifying brutality. Now Graham is reluctantly lured out of retirement, to find an opening to the evil mind of the Red Dragon. "Red Dragon" is quite probably the most suspenseful, utterly compelling thriller ever written. From AudioFile Alan Sklar takes the listener on a journey to the early 1980s to revisit the first story featuring cannibalistic genius Hannibal Lecter. The story is as powerfully gripping as it is disturbing, and Sklar's deep, precise, and edgy delivery style is a perfect match. Will Graham is fighting his own inner demons as he tries to leave his past with the FBI behind. His battles with human monsters, including Lecter, have left him with physical and emotional scars. But with a new, bizarre serial killer on the loose, Graham is called on to use his profiling talents to track him down. Graham, in turn, enlists the aid of his old adversary, Hannibal Lecter, to find the killer, who poses family members on film after murdering them. S.E.S.
