From the genius of Thomas Harris, the #1 New York Times bestselling author who introduced the world to Hannibal Lecter, comes his terrifying and prophetic debut of an American who plans an act of terrorism at the Super Bowl—as the whole world watches. But in a mob of 80,000 people, how can they find him to stop him?

The clock is ticking… --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
作者简介 A native of Mississippi, Thomas Harris began his writing career covering crime in the United States and Mexico, and was a reporter and editor of the Associate Press in New York City. Black Sunday, his first novel, was followed by Red Dragon in 1981, The Silence of the Lambs in 1988, and Hannibal in 1999. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

From Library Journal
This is the 1975 debut novel from Harris, who went on to write Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal. Black Sunday pits an American Vietnam veteran of dubious sanity and PLO terrorist accomplices against a ruthless Israeli security agent and the FBI in a race to kill the 80,000 spectators at the Super Bowl, with the president of the United States in attendance. The plot (large-scale terrorist act perpetrated in the United States by an American) was considered somewhat improbable when first reviewed but is considerably less so today. The suspenseful and relentless action is adequately paced by the reading of actor Ron McLarty. Character development, perhaps necessarily, takes second place in this abridgment. An exciting thriller from a popular author, and a title that may be less familiar to many of Harris''s current fans. Recommended for fiction collections. Kristen L. Smith, Loras Coll. Lib., Dubuque, IA
