Red Dragon is Thomas Harris's second novel, after Black Sunday. As part of his research for the book he attended classes and talked to agents at the FBI Behavioral Science Unit in Quantico, Virginia, during the late 1970s. He learned about serial killers, offender profiling and the role of the FBI in serial killer investigations. It was the basis for the 1986 film, Manhunter, starring William Petersen, Tom Noonan, Dennis Farina and Brian Cox and the 2002 film, Red Dragon, starring Edward Norton, Harvey Keitel, Ralph Fiennes and Anthony Hopkins.
