WITH A FOREWORD BY THOMAS HARRIS, IN WHICH HE ENCOUNTERS HANNIBAL LECTER, M.D.,  FOR THE FIRST TIME

"I want to tell you the circumstances in which I first encountered Hannibal Lecter, M.D.... In the village of Rich, Mississippi... I could see the investigator Will Graham in the home of the victim family, in the house where they all died... Graham needed some help, and he knew it... So it was with some trepidation that I accompanied him to the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane... - TH."

Before The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, and Hannibal Rising, there was Red Dragon, the book that introduced Hannibal Lecter to the world, Hailed on its arrival by The Washington Post Book World as "the scariest book of the season" and Newsday as "crime novel of the year."'

In Red Dragon, Thomas Harris leads you on a journey into a madman's mind: a reverberating torture chamber where Francis Dolarhyde both monster and victim; a furnace of devouring memory where man and dragon can coexist only by constant vigilance and blood sacrifice.
