  1. 1. The Silence Of The Lambs And Red Dragon

    A brilliant, incarcerated cannibal becomes the linchpin in two separate, harrowing FBI investigations: one in which a veteran profiler is drawn back to hunt a remorseless serial killer whose savagery and escalating obsession threatens innocent lives, and another in which a determined young trainee must outwit a twisted abductor to rescue a kidnapped woman. Both cases force agents into psychological warfare with manipulative, violent minds, exposing trauma, obsession, and the thin boundary between hunter and hunted as they race to prevent further murders.
