I remember reading Red Dragon many years ago, and was extremely disappointed by the movie Manhunter, which seemed to lose a lot of the subtelties of the novel ( but that's what happens with movies) especially the feeling of claustrophobia that Harris managed to get into both Red Dragon and the book Silence of the Lambs. The only other writer I think has come close to that is Caleb Carr in The Alienist and Angel of Darkness. If you are into forensics and psychology in your whodunnits then search those two out. Another front runner for me is Barbera Hambly and her Free Man of Colo(u)r. Great New Orleans stuff. I don't know why but these turn of the (20th) century crime thrillers seem to please me more than most.
