Hannibal: About the story
It was seven years since Hannibal Lecter escaped from a prison in Baltimore Maryland, and hes been in a state of hibernation since. Now in this book eight years later, FBI Agent Clarice Starling was put back on the Lecter case, and Hannibal was elevated again to the top ten most wanted list. Mason Verger was trying to capture Hannibal as well. He had three kidnappers from Sardinia working for him and he gave FBIs Paul Krendler $500,000 to the to keep the Bureau out of his way. The where about of Hannibal Lecter was discovered by chief inspector Rinaldo Pazzi, who was in a frenzy figuring out weather or not to arrest Hannibal, or sell him to Mason Verger for the $3,000,000 reward. When Pazzi decided to sell Lecter, the plan didnt go as hoped and Pazzi was murdered. Hannibal then came back to the United States where he hid out in Paul Krendlers cottage house. Then when Paul came back there for the 4th of July weekend, Lecter was waiting and he didnt let a good meal go to waste. Lecter and Clarice talked things over there and they realized what they really meant to each other.
