Hannibal By Thomas Harris

I am now reading "Hannibal" by Thomas Harris. I am not very far in it, we haven't been introduced to Hannibal yet. So far in the story we have been following FBI agent Clarice Starling, she has just been on a drug bust and killed a woman (drug lord) who was holding a baby. The public is very upset, because of the pictures taken showing Agent Starling killing the woman holding her baby. The public is unaware of the words said or the other agents killed by the woman. The woman also shot before Agent Starling fired, she was hit in the ear.
