Publisher's summary

A quiet summer night...a neat suburban house...and another innocent, happy family is shattered - the latest victims of a grisly series of hideous sacrificial killings that no one understands, and no one can stop. Nobody lives to tell of the unimaginable carnage. Only the blood-stained walls bear witness.

All hope rests on Special Agent Will Graham, who must peer inside the killer's tortured soul to understand his rage, to anticipate and prevent his next vicious crime. Desperate for help, Graham finds himself locked in a deadly alliance with the brilliant Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the infamous mass murderer who Graham put in prison years ago.

As the imprisoned Lecter tightens the reins of revenge, Graham's feverish pursuit of the Red Dragon draws him inside the warped mind of a psychopath, into an unforgettable world of demonic ritual and violence, beyond the limits of human terror.

Loved It

I really liked this story. I saw Manhunter years ago on TV & liked it. The introduction to Dr. Hannibal Lector was great. The narrator did a fantastic job not only telling the story but utilizing different voices for different characters.

I only wish the ending would’ve concluded with what happened after Will Graham was released & what happened with Molly, that’s where the 4 stars comes from as far as story.

Overall very very good. I’m in the process of revisiting the entire series. I started again with “Hannibal Rising” now I’m on to “The Silence of The Lambs”.

Happy Reading👍🏾

Just as good as the first time I listened to it

It must have been ages since I listened to the book back when I had it on CD but I had to give it another listen because I wanted to jog my memory a bit before watching Hannibal on network TV. Season 1 was good, Season 2 not so good, so I went back to the original material including this one.
