Clarice Starling, a young FBI trainee, is assigned to interview Lecter, to match her wits against his in a race against time to save another young woman from the grotesque fate that has befallen the previous victims. In the process she is drawn along a path of sheer terror, a descent ever deeper into her own memories and nightmares, towards a discovery of incomparable horror.
A masterpiece of suspense and a terrifying study of pure evil, The Silence of the Lambs is a living nightmare - but you wont want it to end. --front flap
