Journal Entry 1 by Jeffrowe from not specified, not specified not specified on Thursday, July 19, 2007
This is one of the Best Historical Fictions out, and Caleb Carr is by far an amazing author. This is the first in a 2 part series, I hope he considers making a third.

This Novel takes place in New York, circa 1896. Weaving a tale centered around Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, an alienist as he tried to solve a series of horrible murders. This book introduces the earliest uses and theories of criminology and several infant Criminal investigation technologies. Litter throughout are historical figures, events, and places, giving the story an amazing HISTORICAL quality.

A great source of info on the book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alienist

I am releasing both of the books in paperback at the same time. I specifically bought multiple copies for this reason. I love this author and want to share his with everyone!
