Hannibal Lecter Series Collection 4 Books Set by Thomas Harris (Red Dragon, Silence Of The Lambs, Hannibal, Hannibal Rising)

Product Information

The second novel in the Hannibal series, The Silence of the Lambs, once again features Dr. Lecter helping out the FBI from within his cell. This time, though, he works with a young FBI agent-in-training, Clarice Starling. Starling tries one last time to get information from Lecter as he is held in police custody. He offers a final clue—"we covet what we see every day"—and demands to hear her worst memory. Starling reveals that, after her father's death, she was sent to live with a cousin on a sheep and horse ranch. One night, she discovered the farmer slaughtering the spring lambs, and fled in terror with a mare also destined for the slaughterhouse whom she named Hannah. The farmer caught her and sent her to an orphanage, where she spent the rest of her childhood, though her efforts did result in Hannah being spared. Lecter, seeing the parallels between the helpless lambs and the equally helpless Catherine, thanks her for her candor, and the two share a brief moment of connection before Chilton forces her to leave. Shortly after this, Lecter escapes by killing and eviscerating his guards, using one of their faces as a mask to fool paramedics.

Due to the implications of the tragedies he had experience in the past; his psychopathic behaviour never departed his mind. Combined with his stature and knowledge of being a psychiatrist, he still continued to kill people and eating them after. He is not just seeking revenge but also executing his so called “judgement” on other people that doesn’t treat him nicely. He performs cannibalism in all his victims. Lecter rescues the wounded Starling and takes her to his rented house on the Chesapeake shore to treat her, subjecting her to a regimen of psychoactive drugs in the course of therapy sessions to help her heal from her childhood trauma and her pent-up anger at the injustices of the world. He considers whether his long-dead younger sister Mischa may somehow be able to live again through Starling. One day, he invites her to a formal dinner where the guest and first course is Krendler, whose brain they consume together. On this night, Starling refuses to let her personality be subsumed, telling Lecter that Mischa's memory can live within him. She then offers him her breast, and they become lovers.
