Refinished Tu 4/6/21
(After my yearly meeting with Dax. We have been shooting for a 6-8% increase per year, but in 2020 I did 63%! If averaged, I have been making $89,000 a year. I am the definition of what 'wealth' actually means)
Hannibal Lector has been on the run for almost 7 years and he is in Florence, Italy near Plazzo del Vecchio where the statue of David is located.
A brutal recreation of the execution of Girolamo Savonarola is etched in my memory from the movie of the book, but the presentation in the novel is equally as good. A local policeman in Italy has stumbled upon Lector's real identity, but Hannibal pitches him off a balcony with his head in a noose and disembowels him as he falls to the town square.
Some reviewers said there was too much violence, but I can't help but wonder why would you read a book about Dr. Hannibal Lector and believe that you will not witness some grizzly shit.
Mason Verger was one of Lector's ex-patients. Lector drugged him and then cut his face off. This guy is an evil abuser of children and he is driven to capture Lector and feed him to his boars- vicious wild pigs.
The end is hard to believe, but Hannibal and Agent Clarice Starling are now a couple! Clarice and Hannibal eat the brain of Starling's boss, Krendler.
An interesting review of the book:

Anything by Harris is worth a look, and I was surprised to learn that he wrote 'Black Sunday'. That was his first novel and it was about a terrorist attack at the Super Bowl. I want to read 'Silence of The Lambs' and 'Red Dragon'.
