Sexual hunger; demonic violence; sinister logic - the lethal components of a deadly formula driving a psychopath in the grip of an unimaginable delusion; a boastful killer who sends the police tormenting notes; a tortured; torturing monster who finds ultimate pleasure in viciously murdering happy families; and calls himself... The Red Dragon. Special agent Will Graham had been assigned to similar cases before; cases where he was able to see and feel with the madmen; anticipate their moves and; most terrifying of all; be vulnerable to their horrifying brutality. Now Graham is reluctantly lured out of retirement; to find an opening to the evil mind of the Red Dragon. Red Dragon is quite probably the most suspenseful; utterly compelling thriller ever written.
