The Alienist by Caleb Carr

The Alienist by Caleb Carr

In 1896 New York, a psychologist then called an alienist is enlisted to track a serial killer targeting young boys, using an unprecedented method for the time: building a psychological profile of the murderer from the pattern of his crimes rather than relying on physical evidence alone.

Carr recreates Gilded Age New York in exhaustive, immersive detail, including real historical figures like Theodore Roosevelt as police commissioner, while the investigative method at the novel's centre effectively dramatises the origins of criminal profiling decades before it became standard practice.

A bestselling historical crime novel, credited with helping popularise the modern serial-killer thriller.
