Hannibal. By Thomas Harris. First Edition, First Printing. Delacorte. New York, 1999.

Set years after The Silence of the Lambs, this third installment in the Hannibal Lector Series was long awaited, especially after the success of the first books and the subsequent movies. Author Thomas Harris returns his main characters, Dr. Lecter and Clarice Starling, in an unsettling horror/thriller that Stephen King ranked as one of his favorites. It was developed into a 2001 movie of the same name directed by Ridley Scott and starring Anthony Hopkins and Julianne Moore.
