Reissue of the sequel to the bestselling The Alienist
Caleb Carr was born in New England in 1951 and now lives in New York. He was a military historian, teaching at Columbia, before the success of his first novel enabled him to become a full-time writer.
Carr's follow-up to THE ALIENIST is just as good a read; a thrillingly macabre drive into the fetid depths of turn-of-the-century New York ... A triumph of research, it is also a triumph of imagination, express and feeling... brilliantly maintains a ferocious grip. Mail on Sunday Quite enthralling ... a novel with plays with but never insults the intelligence. The Times The sureness of the historical sensibility elevates THE ANGEL OF DARKNESS above genre fiction TLS Carr brings enormous gusto to his portrait of old New York... the city seems to rise off the page Independent on Sunday
