In the sweltering summer of New York in 1897 a headless corpse bobs up on the surface of the Hudson River. The United States is poised for war with Spain. And the child of a high-ranking enemy diplomat goes missing. It is another delicate case for Dr Laszlo Kreizler, the renowned psychiatrist, and his posse of trusted aides, including the Isaacson brothers and the fearless Sara Howard, but in this new novel the cynical voice of the journalist John Moore has been replaced by the cautious optimism of young Stevie Taggert. Stevie, a youth plucked by Kreizler from the city's slums, carries with him the sights, smells and sounds of the city, and through his astonishing narrative Carr's rich and moving second novel evokes the seething vitality of fin-de-siecle New York.

Book Description: Little, Brown Book Group, United Kingdom, 2002. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 198 x 126 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. A year after the events narrated in the bestselling THE ALIENIST, the cast of characters from that novel are again brought together to investigate a crime committed in the heady days of New York in the 1890s, but this time narrated by the orphan Stevie Taggert. A young child, the daughter of Spanish diplomats, disappears. It seems she has been abducted but no ransom note is received and the detectives Isaacson quickly discover that a nurse, Elspeth Hunter, is probably the kidnapper. They also discover that Hunter has been a little too closely connected with the death of three other infants. But what are her motives? She married a fortune, and although she is connected to some fairly rough villains this crime does not fit their modus operandi. Is it something as 'simple' as psychological disturbance due to her own inability to bear children, or something more sinister unguessed at?.
