Deadly Vows
After fleeing the Iran-Iraq war, Darya begins a new life in Los Angeles and is swept off her feet by the charming Sam Lebon. But behind his promises of safety lies a violent darkness. As their relationship twists into abuse and control, Darya makes a daring escape — only to discover Sam has ordered her death. Hunted and alone, she must outwit a relentless predator before his vow becomes her execution.

Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism.
