The story
Clarice Starling, a young FBI trainee at Quantico, is recruited by Unit chief Jack Crawford to interview Dr.
Initially courteous, Lecter grows dismissive upon deducing Crawford's ulterior motive.
Meanwhile, another victim is discovered with a death's-head moth lodged in her throat—the same species later found inside the severed head.
