NEW YORK TIMESΒ BESTSELLER β’ NOW A TNT ORIGINAL SERIES β’Β βA first-rate tale of crime and punishment that will keep readers guessing until the final pages.ββEntertainment Weekly
βCaleb Carrβs rich period thriller takes us back to the moment in history when the modern idea of the serial killer became available to us.ββThe Detroit News
When The Alienist was first published in 1994, it was a major phenomenon, spending six months on the New York Times bestseller list, receiving critical acclaim, and selling millions of copies. This modern classic continues to be a touchstone of historical suspense fiction for readers everywhere.
The year is 1896. The city is New York. Newspaper reporter John Schuyler Moore is summoned by his friend Dr. Laszlo Kreizlerβa psychologist, or βalienistββto view the horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy abandoned on the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge. From there the two embark on a revolutionary effort in criminology: creating a psychological profile of the perpetrator based on the details of his crimes. Their dangerous quest takes them into the tortured past and twisted mind of a murderer who will kill again before their hunt is over.
Fast-paced and riveting, infused with historical detail, The Alienist conjures up Gilded Age New York, with its tenements and mansions, corrupt cops and flamboyant gangsters, shining opera houses and seamy gin mills. It is an age in which questioning societyβs belief that all killers are born, not made, could have unexpected and fatal consequences.
