But to do it, he must feel the heat of a killer's brain, draw on the macabre advice of a dangerous mental patient, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and follow a trail of microscopic clues to the place where another family has already been chosen to die--and where an innocent woman has found the Dragon first.

Comment: The first book in the Hannibal Lecter series, this is what started it all. It gave us the cannibal we can't help but love. We follow two different minds: the mind of a killer and the mind of the man hunting the killer. Will Graham helps investigate the murders of two different families, taking place on two separate occasions. Graham is a likeable character, although he is flawed. But those are the best characters, aren't they? He has a hard time living a normal live. Hannibal Lecter is barely in this book, but the part that he is involved in leaves a mark. It's memorable and gives you a hard time to forget. Kicking of with this chilling thriller makes me even more exciting about the other books. Three more Lecter stories to go...
