Pulled into the investigation almost by accident, she’s sent to interview another serial killer, incarcerated psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter- "Hannibal the Cannibal"- for insight into Buffalo Bill's psychosis. The game-changer comes in the form of ambitious young trainee Clarice Starling. Behavioral Sciences, the section of the FBI that deals with violent crime, is stuck section chief Jack Crawford has no idea how to stop this guy. There's a serial killer on the loose, "Buffalo Bill," who abducts women, kills and skins them, and shoves chrysalitic moths down their throats. Notably, unlike later sequels in the series, this book is somewhat self-contained (for one, Will Graham doesn't reappear and is only briefly mentioned in an expository narration), and the reader does not need to be familiar with the events of Red Dragon in order to understand this novel. The Silence of the Lambs is a 1988 novel by Thomas Harris ( Black Sunday), and the second after Red Dragon in the Hannibal Lecter series. What is the first and principal thing he does, what needs does he serve by killing? Lecter: What does he do, this man you seek?ĭr.

Not even a half-hearted attempt at rescuing an uncomfortable situation. I didn't have the heart to ask him why a second time.Īnd there it sat between us, this knowledge of his disdain for women writers (for some hitherto unknown reason), like a breathing, venom-spitting, invisible monster quietly killing our conversation (thankfully!). On prodding him for the reason behind his 'disinterest', he replied that 'books written by women just do not engage' him.
