Set one year after the events of THE ALIENIST, a crime novel based in New York during the 1890s. The daughter of a Spanish diplomat is kidnapped, apparently by the young child's nurse. An investigation reveals that the woman either has connections to a criminal gang, or is psychologically disturbed, and both alternatives have awful implications.

Industry Reviews

At the outset of this big sprawling book, the narrator, Stevie Taggert, claims not to have the 'quick tongue or slick wit' necessary for storytelling. Like much else in Carr's murky tale, this statement cannot be taken on trust. Taggert relates a chilling account of how his mentor, the renowned psychiatrist Dr Laszlo Kreizler (who first appeared in The Alienist), follows the trail of a serial child murderer through the steaming streets of New York during the summer of 1897 as the country simmers on the brink of war with Spain.
