I am a Hannibal fan, read and watched them all over and over with great enjoyment and was eagerly looking forward to this one. BUT.....I struggle to believe the author of 'Silence' wrote this. Absolute rubbish no aspiring author would ever have got published. It seemed like one final pay cheque on the Harris brand. An ameturish quite awful book full of unintended humour. Don't waste your money.
