# The Silence of the Lambs - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Thomas Harris** (Author)

**The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the #1 _New York Times_ bestselling classic, now with a note by author Thomas Harris revealing his inspiration for Hannibal Lecter.**

An ingenious, masterfully written novel, _The Silence of the Lambs_ is a classic of suspense and storytelling and the basis for the Oscar award-winning horror film starring Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling and Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

A serial murderer known only by a grotesquely apt nickname--Buffalo Bill--is stalking particular women. He has a purpose, but no one can fathom it, for the bodies are discovered in different states. Clarice Starling, a young trainee at the F.B.I. Academy, is surprised to be summoned by Jack Crawford, Chief of the Bureau's Behavioral Science section. Her assignment: to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist and grisly killer now kept under close watch in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Lecter's insight into the minds of murderers could help track and capture Buffalo Bill.

Smart and attractive, Starling is shaken to find herself in a strange, intense relationship with the acutely perceptive Lecter. His cryptic clues--about Buffalo Bill and about _her_\--launch Clarice on a search that every reader will find startling, harrowing, and totally compelling.
