Hannibal Rising -- In RED DRAGON we learned who he was. In SILENCE OF THE LAMBS we learned how he did it. Now comes the most chilling chapter in the life of Hannibal Lecter - the one that answers the most elusive question of all - why?

Hitman -- Abandoned by his mysterious employer and unwillingly embroiled in a suspicious political assassination, a stealthy hitman falls for a Russian prostitute who complicates his life before he eliminates their enemy, the right wing 'double' of a presidential candidate. Based on the top-selling, award winning videogame franchise.

Based on the top-selling, award-winning video game franchise, the Hitman is a genetically-engineered, elite assassin known only as Agent 47. His very existence seems to be a sin, but he wages a quiet war to rid the world of evil. He’s brilliant, charismatic and charming – yet reveals little about himself, has no name, and is known only by the last two digits of a barcode tattooed on the back of his head. His hallmarks are a lethal grace, unwavering precision, and resolute pride in his work. But even 47 couldn't anticipate a "random equation" in his life of exactitude: the unexpected stirrings of his conscience and the unfamiliar emotions aroused in him by a mysterious Russian woman.

In Red Dragon we learned who he was. In Silence of the Lambs we learned how he did it. Now comes the most chilling chapter in the life of Hannibal Lecter– the one that answers the most elusive question of all-why?
