Thus New York City, and the groundbreaking alienist Dr. Kreizler himself, are seen anew. <br><br>It is 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 friends--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 crime--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 Sara'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. <br><br>Once again, Caleb Carr proves his brilliant ability to re-create the past, both high life and low. As the horror unfolds, Delmonico's still serves up wondrous meals, and a summer trip to the elegant gambling parlors of Saratoga provides precious keys to the murderer's past. At the same time, we go on revealing journeys into Stevie's New York, a place where poor and neglected children--then as now--turn to crime and drugs at shockingly early ages. Peppered throughout are characters taken from real life and rendered with historical vigor, including suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton; painter Albert Pinkham Ryder; and Clarence Darrow, who thunders for the defense in a tense courtroom drama. Fast-paced and chilling, <i>The Angel of Darkness</i> is a tour de force, a novel of modern evil in old New York. 1441588 book 1997 The Angel of Darkness total:3196|5:661|4:1328|3:953|2:222|1:32| 3196 11952 3951 249 767307 0345427637 9780345427632 2831 217 3.74 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178167734m/767307.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/767307.The_Angel_of_Darkness 5 3 false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Wed Apr 02 16:29:16 -0700 2008 Sun May 18 15:22:40 -0700 2008 767307 0345427637 9780345427632 2831 217 3.74 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178167734m/767307.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/767307.The_Angel_of_Darkness 2 2 false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Wed Sep 03 05:07:58 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 05:14:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 767307 0345427637 9780345427632 2831 217 3.74 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178167734m/767307.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/767307.The_Angel_of_Darkness 3 1 false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Thu Jul 03 10:44:16 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 05:48:13 -0700 2008 more...]]> 767307 0345427637 9780345427632 2831 217 3.74 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178167734m/767307.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/767307.The_Angel_of_Darkness 1 1 false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Fri Aug 03 06:48:27 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 03 07:00:18 -0700 2007 more...]]> 49330 0751534102 9780751534108 256 20 3.74 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49330.The_Angel_of_Darkness 3 1 false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Jun 10 15:17:37 -0700 2007 Sun Jun 10 15:17:37 -0700 2007
