Thomas Harris - Red Dragon




Thomas Harris worked some time as a police reporter and journalist until he began to write big novels. His famous character Hannibal, psychiatrist who loves to kill his patients and eat them became legendary figure.

This novel is first and best in the series successfully combining horror and crime elements, although with not much literary style.

There is also good film adaptation by Michael Mann starring William Petersen, Tom Noonan and Brian Cox. Soundtrack is also very good.
