Hannibal A Novel

Seven years after his escape, the fugitive Dr. Hannibal Lecter is living in Florence, Italy, under the assumed identity of a museum curator. Meanwhile, FBI agent Clarice Starling's career is on the brink of collapse following a botched drug raid, and she is being targeted by a corrupt Justice Department official. Lecter is being hunted by Mason Verger, a wealthy, sadistic, and grossly disfigured former patient and one of Lecter's few surviving victims, who seeks a gruesome revenge: to capture Lecter and feed him alive to specially bred wild boars. Verger uses a massive bounty to draw Lecter out and plots to use Starling as bait due to her unique connection to the killer. Despite being under scrutiny, Starling becomes involved in the hunt for Lecter, leading to a final, deadly confrontation where all three characters' fates are twisted together.
