NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NOW A TNT ORIGINAL SERIES A first-rate tale of crime and punishment that will keep readers guessing until the final pages.--Entertainment Weekly Caleb Carr's rich period thriller takes us back to the moment in history when the modern idea of the serial killer became available to us.--The 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 Kreizler--a psychologist, or alienist--to view the horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy abandoned on the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge.

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.
