He spent time at the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit in Quantico and has interviewed serial killer Ted Bundy in researching for his novels. Harris's first novel, "Black Sunday" (1975), was a collaborative effort with fellow reporters Sam Maul and Dick Riley. While working the evening shift for the AP, they came up with the idea of using the Goodyear Blimp as the vehicle for a terrorist attack at the Super Bowl.

El silencio de los corderos de Thomas Harris
Molt bon thriller. La trama enganxa i les converses amb el Lecter se't fan imprevisibles, no pots saber què passa per la seva ment. Vaig veure la pel·lícula abans que llegir la novel·la i me n'he adonat que va ser un error. Això sí, no m'ha extranyat gens que l'hagin adaptada al cinema, la gran capacitat de fer-te entrar en situació de l'autor permet fer-te les imatges viuals molt bé. Si t'agrada la intriga, no voldràs que s'acabin els capítols, en voldràs llegir un darrera l'altre. I si veus la pel·lícula, no t'emportaràs una decepció.… (més)
