Summary
Will Graham, a reclusive profiler with preternatural empathy, hides a dark secret: he is a vampire, turned at age thirty-eight during a brutal encounter that cost him his humanity and sense of self hundreds of years ago. He feeds rarely and only on those he deems irredeemable—criminals, abusers, the worst of humanity. This helps keep his conscience intact, but he's still consumed by guilt and self-loathing.
The FBI, unaware of his nature, brings him back into the fold to consult on a particularly gruesome case involving bodies drained of blood and arranged in symbolic tableaux. The precision and aestheticism of the murders confound the team.
Enter Dr. Hannibal Lecter, forensic psychiatrist and consultant. Erudite, refined, and disturbingly insightful, Hannibal immediately develops a fascination with Will. Will senses something wrong with Hannibal, but can't pinpoint it—his empathy isn't working correctly on him.
