Summary
As a boy in Eastern Europe, the son of a wealthy viscount, Hannibal Lecter showed few signs of the monstrous life he would be destined to live. But at the end of World War II, German soldiers killed his parents and kept Hannibal and his sister Mischa to be used as food in the long cold winter. Hannibal survived, but Mischa did not. After being discovered in the snow unconscious with a chain around his neck, Hannibal was taken in by his uncle and his lovely Asian wife, and soon became a student at medical school, where he excelled. However, the twisted underpinnings of his life never truly left him, and a desire for revenge grew in his heart-his childhood tormentors had not seen the last of Hannibal Lecter. Fiction's most famous cannibal and "beloved" villain returns in Thomas Harris's HANNIBAL RISING.

The Luneburg Variation
by Jon Rothschild
At the opening of this book a cadaver is discovered, the body of an impeccable businessman from Munich, in an elaborate garden where topiary shrubs delineate a hidden chessboard behind the hedges. The death seems to be a suicide, with no plausible motivation, but then, as the plot of this thriller unfolds, we begin to see that its apparently random moves are variations on an opening gambit, and it can end only in a checkmate that annihilates the possibility of a rematch. Gary Kasparov has defined chess as "the most violent sport in existence", and that is true in this extraordinary novel, too. For the mortal duel around which it is constructed is between two chess players who are opposed human types - a clever, persecuted Jew and a ruthless, persecuting German - and when they face each other over a chessboard, at first in big international tournaments and then in a Nazi death camp, the stakes are nothing less than life itself.
Nothing but the Night
by Bill Pronzini
For some people, the night is a cloak, helping them to hide; for others, it's a bright light, exposing things best left unseen. For some people, the darkness is comforting, giving them time to think and plan; for others, it's where nightmares hide. Nick Hendryx rides the night, comfortable and in control, searching for the man who lost control of his car and slammed Annalisa Hendryx into a coma. Can Gallagher fears the night and the memories it brings, the sounds and images of the anger and death that followed it in his home along the banks of California's Russian River. The lives of Gallagher and Hendryx have taken separate courses; their roads will cross and cross again, with increasing threat, in the nights they begin to share.
