If you never thought a book could make you quake with fear, prepare yourself for Red Dragon.

For you are about to meet a human monster, a tortured being driven by a force he cannot contain, who pleasures in viciously murdering happy families. When you discover how he chooses his victims, you will never feel safe again.

You are about to be thrust so deeply into the heart of his obsession that you will find no escape.

You are about to hope beyond hope that one man—a man with powers he is horrified to use—can stop this rage-consumed soul before he kills again.

You are about to be swept into the arms of the…Red Dragon.

Work Description

Red Dragon is a novel by American author Thomas Harris, first published in 1981. The plot follows former FBI profiler Will Graham, who comes out of retirement to find and apprehend an enigmatic serial-killer nicknamed "The Tooth Fairy". The novel introduced the character Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial-killer, whom Graham reluctantly turns to for advice and with whom he has a dark past. The title refers to the figure from William Blake's painting The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun.
