However, Graham suffered serious injuries from the encounter and retired afterward. Five years later, in 1980, a serial killer nicknamed "The Tooth Fairy" <a href="/wiki/Stalking" title="Stalking">stalks</a> and murders seemingly random families during sequential full moons. He first kills the Jacobi family in <a href="/wiki/Birmingham,_Alabama" title="Birmingham, Alabama">Birmingham, Alabama</a>, then the Leeds family in <a href="/wiki/Atlanta,_Georgia" class="mw-redirect" title="Atlanta, Georgia">Atlanta, Georgia</a>, in both cases breaking into the family home at night, shooting the parents and children, and then <a href="/wiki/Necrophilia" title="Necrophilia">having intercourse with the mother's body</a> after she dies, leaving a distinctive bite pattern on her body. Two days after the Leeds murders, agent <a href="/wiki/Jack_Crawford_(character)" title="Jack Crawford (character)">Jack Crawford</a>, Graham's mentor, goes to Graham's <a href="/wiki/Marathon,_Florida" title="Marathon, Florida">Marathon, Florida</a> residence and pleads for his assistance; Graham reluctantly agrees. </p><p>After looking over the crime scenes, Graham realizes that the killer posed the family's bodies as an audience during the rape, and accurately predicts the FBI will find the killer's fingerprints on the victims' eyes. He also discovers a stakeout location where the killer watched the home from a nearby wood and discovers a Chinese character carved into a tree: a <a href="/wiki/Mahjong" title="Mahjong">mahjong</a> symbol known as the <a href="/wiki/Mahjong_tiles#Dragons" title="Mahjong tiles">red dragon.</a> Having reached a dead end, Graham realizes he must visit Lecter and seek his help to capture "the Tooth Fairy." Lecter, locked in a maximum security cell in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, offers enigmatic clues to the killer's pathology and cruelly taunts Will that the reason he caught Lecter is because they are alike, disturbing Graham and causing him to cut the meeting short. </p><p>"The Tooth Fairy" is revealed (to the readers) to be the production chief of a <a href="/wiki/St._Louis" title="St. Louis">St. Louis</a> <a href="/wiki/Film_processing" class="mw-redirect" title="Film processing">film processing</a> firm named <a href="/wiki/Francis_Dolarhyde" title="Francis Dolarhyde">Francis Dolarhyde</a>. He is a disturbed individual obsessed with the <a href="/wiki/William_Blake" title="William Blake">William Blake</a> painting <i><a href="/wiki/The_Great_Red_Dragon_Paintings" class="mw-redirect" title="The Great Red Dragon Paintings">The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun</a>.</i> Born with a severe <a href="/wiki/Cleft_palate" class="mw-redirect" title="Cleft palate">cleft palate</a>, Dolarhyde believes himself weak and deformed despite having had corrective surgery. He is unable to control his violent, sexual urges, and believes that murdering people—or "changing" them, as he calls it—allows him to more fully "become" an <a href="/wiki/Dissociative_identity_disorder" title="Dissociative identity disorder">alternate personality</a> he calls the "Great Red Dragon", after the dominant character in Blake's painting. Flashbacks reveal that his sociopathy is born from the systematic <a href="/wiki/Child_abuse" title="Child abuse">abuse</a> he suffered as a child at the hands of his <a href="/wiki/Sadistic_personality_disorder" title="Sadistic personality disorder">sadistic</a> grandmother who raised him after his mother abandoned him as an infant. </p><p>As Graham investigates the case, he is hounded by <a href="/wiki/Freddy_Lounds" title="Freddy Lounds">Freddy Lounds</a>, a sleazy <a href="/wiki/Tabloid_(newspaper_format)" title="Tabloid (newspaper format)">tabloid</a> reporter, who publishes an article about Graham consulting Lecter. Dolarhyde, reading the article, writes a fan letter to Lecter, asking for a response. <a href="/wiki/Frederick_Chilton" title="Frederick Chilton">Frederick Chilton</a>, the head of the institute and Lecter's self-styled nemesis, discovers the letter hidden in Lecter's cell with Dolarhyde's instructions for how to contact him removed. After significant forensic analysis, the FBI deduce that Lecter has placed a coded personal ad in Lounds' tabloid, the National Tattler, but are unable to break the code before the publishing deadline, and Graham reluctantly allows the ad to run. Lounds becomes aware of the correspondence and tries to trick Graham into revealing details of the investigation by posing as the killer but is found out and arrested. When the code is finally broken, it reveals Lecter has given Graham's address to the killer and tells him to save himself by killing the family. Graham's wife, Molly, and his stepson are evacuated, causing significant tension in his marriage. </p><p>Hoping to lure the Red Dragon into a trap, Graham gives Lounds an interview in which he deliberately mischaracterizes the killer as an <a href="/wiki/Impotence" class="mw-redirect" title="Impotence">impotent</a> <a href="/wiki/Homosexual" class="mw-redirect" title="Homosexual">homosexual</a>, which includes clues to Graham's location. This infuriates Dolarhyde, but instead of pursuing Graham, he kidnaps Lounds. Gluing Lounds to a wheelchair, Dolarhyde forces him to recant the allegations on tape, bites off his lips and sets him on fire, leaving his maimed body outside his newspaper's offices. Lounds dies from his injuries soon afterward, and the tape of his assault is sent to his newspaper and the FBI. Graham receives a letter from Lecter, congratulating him on his indirect murder of Lounds. </p><p>At about the same time, Dolarhyde falls in love with a blind co-worker named Reba McClane, which conflicts with his homicidal urges. In beginning a relationship with McClane, Dolarhyde resists the Dragon's "possession" of him as it urges him to kill McClane; he goes to the <a href="/wiki/Brooklyn_Museum" title="Brooklyn Museum">Brooklyn Museum</a>, beats a museum secretary unconscious, and eats the original Blake watercolor of <i>The Red Dragon</i>. </p><p>As the full moon nears, an increasingly desperate Graham realizes that the killer knew the layout of his victims' houses from their home movies, which were developed at the same film processing lab. Dolarhyde's job gives him access to all home movies that pass through the company. When he sees Graham interviewing his boss, Dolarhyde realizes that they are on to him and goes to see McClane one last time. He finds her breaking up with her previous boyfriend, Ralph Mandy, to be with Dolarhyde; McClane grants Mandy's request for a final kiss goodbye. Enraged with jealousy, Dolarhyde kills Mandy. He kidnaps McClane and, having taken her to his house, sets the place on fire. He says he intends to kill her and then himself, but finds himself unable to shoot her. The shotgun fires, and McClane hears a body hit the floor. McClane escapes just before the house explodes. Graham later comforts her, telling her that there is nothing wrong with her and that the kindness and affection she showed Dolarhyde probably saved lives. </p><p>Believing Dolarhyde is dead, Graham's family moves back to the <a href="/wiki/Florida" title="Florida">Florida</a> home. However, Dolarhyde shows up at the house and after a violent struggle, stabs Graham in the face before being fatally shot by Molly. Graham survives the attack, but he is left with permanent facial scars and it is implied that Molly will leave him. As he recovers, Crawford explains how Dolarhyde faked his death. The dead man in Dolarhyde's house was a gas station attendant he'd had an altercation with; Dolarhyde had brought the man's body to his house to stage his own death, using McClane as a witness. Crawford intercepts a letter to Graham from Lecter, which bids him well and hopes that he isn't too disfigured, and destroys it in an incinerator. </p><p>During his recovery, Graham has a flashback to a visit he made to Shiloh, the site of <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Shiloh" title="Battle of Shiloh">a major battle</a> in the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a>, shortly after apprehending (and in the process, killing) Garrett Hobbs, a serial killer he investigated before Hannibal Lecter. Graham has an epiphany about the indifference of nature and decides that it is not nature that is haunted by events, as he had thought when visiting Shiloh before, but men who are haunted. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characters">Characters</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Red_Dragon_(novel)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Characters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 15em;"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Will_Graham_(character)" title="Will Graham (character)">Will Graham</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Francis_Dolarhyde" title="Francis Dolarhyde">Francis Dolarhyde</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jack_Crawford_(character)" title="Jack Crawford (character)">Jack Crawford</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hannibal_Lecter" title="Hannibal Lecter">Hannibal Lecter</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Freddy_Lounds" title="Freddy Lounds">Freddy Lounds</a></li> <li>Reba McClane</li> <li>Ralph Mandy</li> <li>Molly Graham</li> <li>Willy Graham</li></ul> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Origin">Origin</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Red_Dragon_(novel)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Origin"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Red Dragon</i> is Thomas Harris's second novel, after <i><a href="/wiki/Black_Sunday_(novel)" title="Black Sunday (novel)">Black Sunday</a></i>.
