'You ever heard the expression simplest answer is often the correct one?' Freddie says, almost sing-song and her bony fingers practically itch for the photocopies in Jack's hands.
'You know,' Jack replies, turning another page of Will's boxy handwriting. 'I've never found that to be true.'
---
On the evening of their fifth anniversary, Hannibal Lecter's husband, Will, disappears. The FBI suspect Hannibal. Will's friends reveal that he was afraid of Hannibal, that he kept secrets from his husband. Hannibal says that isn't true. That Will was unwell, that his sense of reality was slipping. But there are things in the house Hannibal can't explain. There are rooms he won't let the FBI go.
Which leaves everyone asking the same question- why didn't anyone help Will Graham?
