Thomas Harris writes psychological crime thrillers best known for the character Hannibal Lecter. Red Dragon follows FBI profiler Will Graham as he reluctantly returns to investigative work to help identify a serial killer known as the Tooth Fairy, consulting the imprisoned Lecter during the case. The Silence of the Lambs places trainee Clarice Starling in a similar position as she interviews Lecter for information that may help find another killer, Buffalo Bill. Hannibal and Hannibal Rising extend Lecter's story beyond his role as an imprisoned consultant. Harris writes slowly escalating suspense around interviews, behavioural clues and the mental contests between investigators and killers, with graphic violence used selectively but directly. For readers of serial-killer thrillers, Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs combine profiling and investigation with unusually close attention to the conversations between hunter and hunted.
