#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 Review You 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. . . . Praise for Hannibal "Interested in getting
the hell scared out of you? Buy this book on a Friday . . . lock all doors and windows. And by
Monday you might just be able to sleep without a night-light."-Newsday "Strap yourself in
for one heck of a ride. . . . It'll scare your socks off."-Denver Post "A stunner . . .
writing in language as bright and precise as a surgeon's scalpel Harris has created a world as
mysterious as Hannibal's memory palace and as disturbing as a Goya painting. This is one book
you don't want to read alone at night."-The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Relentless . . .
endlessly terrifying . . . 486 fast-paced pages in which every respite is but a prelude to
further furious action . . . Hannibal begins with a murderous paroxysm that leaves the reader
breathless. . . . Hannibal speaks to the imagination to the feelings to the passions to
exalted senses and to debased ones. Harris's voice will be heard for a while."-Los Angeles
Times "A pleasurable sense of dread."-The Wall Street Journal "Enormously satisfying . . . a
smashing good time turning the pages for thrills chills horror and finally a bracing
deliciously wicked slap in the face . . . perhaps the very best the thriller horror genre is
capable of producing."-San Diego Union-Tribune
