is Clarice Starling, young, vulnerable FBI trainee. He is Hannibal Lecter,
brilliant, evil genius. Theirs is a mesmerizing struggle between good and evil─designed
to stop a killer, and chill your blood.”
Review
Silence, like
its prequel Red Dragon, is an excellent and intense psychological, brutal and
occasionally gory thriller with distinctive, fascinating and empathy-worthy
characters, as well as especially disturbing events. This is a classic read,
one worth owning. Followed by Hannibal.
