************************
New York City, 1896. Hypocrisy in high places is rife, police corruption commonplace, and a brutal killer is terrorising young male prostitutes.
Forensics and psychological profiling are still in their infancy, but as the body count rises, Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt calls on eminent psychologist or ‘alienist’, Dr Laszlo Kreizler and crime reporter John Schuyler Moore to trial these new methods.
Kreizler, Moore and their team must venture to the darkest corners of New York – and the human mind – to catch the sadistic killer before they strike again.

You can smell the fear in the air
Gripping, atmospheric, intelligent, and entertaining
A knockout period mystery, infused with intelligence, vitality, and humor
An original that fits no established mystery niche, Carr's fictional debut could be the start of something big
Carr's stylish tale is brilliantly researched and written with commanding elegance and supreme confidence
A vivid picture of fin-de-siecle New York
Superb
