May 1897. It has been a year since the groundbreaking work of Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a forensic psychiatry pioneer, and a group of reliable allies brought down the vicious serial murderer John Beecham via a ground-breaking application of his field's tenets. John Schuyler Moore, a high-living crime reporter; Sara Howard, an indomitable and derringer-wielding woman; Marcus and Lucius Isaacson, two brilliant but argumentative detective brothers; Cyrus Montrose, a strong and kind man; and Stevie Taggert, the boy Kreizler saved from a life of street crime, are just a few of the friends who have gone back to their previous interests and attempted to forget the horror of the Beecham case.
However, the group reunites to assist in locating the wife of a Spanish ambassador who has been abducted, when she cries out for assistance. Given that conflict is imminent between Spain and the United States, this argument is dangerous. The team's research turns up a startling suspect: a lady who, despite her outward appearances as a brave nurse and a devoted mother, may really be a vicious child killer.
Caleb Carr demonstrates his extraordinary talent for reconstructing historical events, both happy and sad. The Angel of Darkness is a brilliant tale about contemporary evil in historic New York that is both frightening and fast-paced.
