Publisher's Summary

Longlisted for the Audiobook Download of the Year, 2007.

He is one of the most haunting characters in all of literature.

At last the evolution of his evil is revealed.

Hannibal Lecter emerges from the nightmare of the Eastern Front, a boy in the snow, mute, with a chain around his neck. He seems utterly alone, but he has brought his demons with him.

Hannibal's uncle, a noted painter, finds him in a Soviet orphanage and brings him to France, where Hannibal will live with his uncle and his uncle's beautiful and exotic wife, Lady Murasaki.

Lady Murasaki helps Hannibal to heal. With her help he flourishes, becoming the youngest person ever admitted to medical school in France.

But Hannibal's demons visit him and torment him. When he is old enough, he visits them in turn.

He discovers he has gifts beyond the academic, and in that epiphany, Hannibal Lecter becomes death's prodigy.

No thank you!

This book is quite literally terrible! If you are expecting anything close to "silence of the lambs" you are going to be disappointed.
Harris must have been suffering ​writer's block and forced this one or perhaps he was getting pressure from the publisher​.
This is ONLY for real hardcore fans ​...

Harris does not have the tonality or power of a good voice actor either so the narration cannot save this struggling title. It meanders around the character development in an annoyingly slow fashion and never really achieves much other than putting you to sleep!
THIS IS QUITE LITERALLY AWFUL ...
