RED DRAGON

Rating:
Summary: Better than expected.
Review: This novel has reached the state of being one of those "classics" -- but in the serial killer field. I finally got a chance to read it, after thinking nothing could surpass David Wiltse's John Becker series, or the Prey series by John Sandford, nor Just Killing Time by VanArnam, or Marcel Montecino's Crosskiller. Well, now I know why this novel is spoken of so highly. I am haunted by the scene at the tree, by the blind would-be victim, by the inner tourmoil of the main character who is parallel but a bit different from John Becker.
My favorite serial killer novel is still the cross-over novel Skin Game by Max Allan Collins, but I will recommend this Harris book from now on.
