The Angel of Darkness: Book 2 of the Alienist: A Novel (Dr. Laszlo Kreizler)
- Caleb Carr, The Angel of Darkness, paperback
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â€¢Â Dr. Laszlo Kreizlerâ€”the brilliant hero of The Alienist, now a TNT original seriesâ€”returns in a â€œwhopping thrillerâ€ (The Washington Post) that showcases Caleb Carr â€œat his strongestâ€ (USA Today).

June 1897. A year has passed since Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a pioneer in forensic psychiatry, tracked down the brutal serial killer John Beecham with the help of a team of trusted companions and a revolutionary application of the principles of his discipline. Kreizler and his friendsâ€”high-living crime reporter John Schuyler Moore; indomitable, derringer-toting Sara Howard; the brilliant (and bickering) detective brothers Marcus and Lucius Isaacson; powerful and compassionate Cyrus Montrose; and Stevie Taggert, the boy Kreizler saved from a life of street crimeâ€”have returned to their former pursuits and tried to forget the horror of the Beecham case.

But when the distraught wife of a Spanish diplomat begs Saraâ€™s aid, the team reunites to help find her kidnapped infant daughter. It is a case fraught with danger, since Spain and the United States are on the verge of war. Their investigation leads the team to a shocking suspect: a woman who appears to the world to be a heroic nurse and a loving mother, but who may in reality be a ruthless murderer of children.

Once again, Caleb Carr proves his brilliant ability to re-create the past, both high life and low. Fast-paced and chilling, The Angel of Darkness is a tour de force, a novel of modern evil in old New York.

â€œGripping . . . Carr is at his strongest, exploring the dark underside of the human psyche and ferreting out the terrors and tragedies that drive menâ€”and womenâ€”to kill. . . . In Libby Hatch, Carr has created a villain whose cunning is nearly equal to his detectivesâ€™ crime-solving prowess. . . . The mystery is plotted with military precision.â€â€”USA Today

â€œ[A] whopping thriller . . . Carr keeps us racing along with him to the very end.â€â€”The Washington Post Book World

â€œFascinating . . . In a brilliant bit of historical casting, Clarence Darrow, a rising courtroom wizard from Chicago, turns up to defend the villain at a tense upstate New York murder trial.â€â€”Time
