Hon måste besöka en man som sitter inspärrad på en högsäkerhetsfacilitet för psykiskt sjuka våldsbrottslingar, och intervjua honom. Mannen, Hannibal Lecter, är en före detta psykiater med ovanliga preferenser och med ett passionerat intresse för det mänskliga psykets mörkare delar. Hans förståelse för mördaren och för Clarice själv bildar kärnan i Thomas Harris roman. När lammen tystnar - en oförglömlig klassiker och boken bakom en av filmhistoriens mest kända thrillers.

THOMAS HARRIS inledde sin karriär med att recensera kriminalromaner samtidigt som han arbetade som reporter i New York. Han debuterade 1975 och har sedan dess blivit en bästsäljande författare världen över, främst genom böckerna om den raffinerade psykopaten Hannibal Lecter. När lammen tystnar [The Silence of the Lambs] är den andra och mest kända boken i serien, inte minst tack vare den hyllade filmen från 1991, med Jodie Foster som Clarice Starling och Anthony Hopkins som Hannibal Lecter.

»En psykologisk thriller som är så skickligt sammanvävd, så gripande, att man knappt kan ta sig igenom meningarna snabbt nog.« Associated Press

»Knivskarp underhållning, skickligt konstruerad och fantastiskt välskriven. Thrillers blir inte bättre än så här.« Clive Barker

The Classic Bestseller that has Changed the Lives of Millions

"Extraordinary. Harris has helped millions find the freedom to change, liberate their adult effectiveness, and achieve joyful intimacy with others." —Los Angeles Times

Transactional analysis delineates three ego-states (Parent, Adult and Child) as the basis for the content and quality of interpersonal communication. “Happy childhood” notwithstanding, says Harris, most of us are living out the not OK feelings of a defenseless child wholly dependent on others (parents) for stroking and caring. At some stage early in our lives we adopt a “position” about ourselves and others that determines how we feel about everything we do. And for a huge portion of the population, that position is "I’m Not OK-You’re OK." This negative "life position," shared by successful and unsuccessful people alike, contaminates our rational adult capabilities, leaving us vulnerable to inappropriate, emotional reactions of our child and uncritically learned behavior programmed into our parent. By exploring the structure of our personalities and understanding old decisions, Harris believes we can find the freedom to change our lives.
