The Alienist Paperback by Caleb Carr - Book

The Alienist Newspaper reporter John S 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. From there the two embark on a revolutionary effort in criminology: creating a psychological profile of the perpetrator based on the details of his crimes. The dangerous quest takes them into the twisted mind of a murderer who will kill again before their hunt is over.
