Before creating the legendary Hannibal Lecter, Thomas Harris made his explosive debut with this 1975 thriller about a terrorist plot to attack the Super Bowl. This Hodder and Stoughton edition represents the first printing in Great Britain, capturing a pivotal moment in the career of an author who would go on to redefine the suspense genre. The book is in good vintage condition, featuring a striking original dust jacket that shows some light edge wear and minor chipping at the top of the spine. The internal pages are clean and the binding remains firm, though there is light foxing (age spotting) visible on the endpapers and the edges of the page block, consistent with its age.
