PLOT SUMMARY

After escaping from captivity, serial killer Hannibal Lecter flees to Florence, Italy where he becomes a curator at the Palazzo Vecchio and, after a few years, seems to be cured of his taste for human flesh. One of his victims, Mason Verger, has survived the doctor's attentions but is disfigured, on a life-support machine and looking for revenge. Only Clarice Starling - who has fallen out of favour with her FBI superiors and is being pilloried by the press - can prevent Mason from carrying out his plan - but Mason is using Starling as bait to draw Lector to him...
