About The Alienist by Caleb Carr:
Ā 
In March of 1896, the mutilated body of a prostitute is found on the still-unfinished Williamsburg Bridgeā€”the first discovery in what becomes a string of murders in Lower Manhattan.
Ā 
In an unorthodox move, Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt enlists a team to track the deranged serial killer: reporter John Schuyler Moore, with his deep knowledge of New York's criminal underground; alienist Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a psychologist who specializes in psychopaths and criminals; and Sara Howard, a brave police department secretary.
Ā 
The group embarks on a groundbreaking endeavor of criminologyā€”building the killer's profile based on the gory details of the crimes to track him down and put a stop to his carnage.
Ā 
An evocative literary thriller and New York Times bestseller, The Alienist is being developed for a television seriesā€”slated to premiere in late 2017.
Ā 
The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of fiction.
