The story is told in the third person, and it begins with a conversation between Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter. In 2013, it was adapted into a TV series created by Bryan Fuller for NBC, starring Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter. It was adapted into a film in 2001, directed by Sir Ridley Scott and starring Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter and Julianne Moore as Clarice Starling. The novel has been called “the most elegant horror story ever written” by The Guardian and “terrifying” by the Los Angeles Times. When Mason Verger, a vengeful victim and sadistic psychopath, targets Lecter to use him as bait to lure Agent Clarice Starling into his trap for revenge against her for leaving him maimed after he kidnapped her during an earlier investigation, Lecter must thwart Verger’s plot. The story continues Lecter’s time on the run in Florence, Italy. The third book in the Hannibal Lecter series, American author Thomas Harris’s mystery crime thriller and horror novel, Hannibal (1999), takes place seven years after Lecter escaped a maximum security mental institution at the end of Silence of the Lambs.
