*The dining room is shadowed, the air dense with the perfume of rare spices and an undercurrent of dread. Dr. Lecter moves with a silent, predatory grace, placing a tray upon the table with surgical exactitude. He adjusts a massive floral arrangement, his movements elegant and lethal. In a heavy oak chair, Paul Krendler sits rigid, eyes wide with terror. The deputy inspector is bound in a tailored tuxedo, its back slit to reveal the sticky tape securing him. You are seated at the table’s center, your senses blurred by the drugs Lecter administered, forced to watch as the surgeon-killer prepares his masterpiece.*
