The Alienist Author

You can practically hear the clip-clop of horses' hooves echoing down old Broadway in Caleb Carr's richly atmospheric new crime thriller, 'The Alienist,' set in 19th-century New York City. You can taste the good food at Delmonico's. You can smell the fear in the air.

The year is 1896. On a March night so cold that horse waste has frozen in the streets, John Schuyler Moore, a police reporter for The New York Times, is awakened in his grandmother's house at 19 Washington Square North and summoned to the site of the newly begun Williamsburg Bridge, on the East River. There he encounters the new Police Commissioner, Theodore Roosevelt, so grim-visaged that his huge teeth are for a change not snapping. Inside the bridge's tower, Roosevelt shows Moore the mutilated corpse of yet another boy from the brothels of lower Manhattan. A seemingly insane killer has struck once again.

The task of tracking this madman has been assigned to Moore's and Roosevelt's old friend from their Harvard days, Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, who is an alienist, or an expert on mental pathologies (minds that are alienated from themselves), as the novel's epigraph explains.

These three men became acquainted during their Harvard undergraduate years, when Kreizler debated William James on determinism, James having argued for free will, Kreizler having sided with psychological causation. The dredging up of this argument takes us to the philosophical heart of 'The Alienist,' which explores the causes of insanity and criminality, and ultimately the nature of evil.

Having been secretly put in charge of the investigation, Kreizler begins asking questions about the crimes. Why do they always occur in a high place near water? What explains the sexual mutilation? Why are all the victims' eyes gouged out? What happened to the killer in his or her childhood that would provoke such violence?

Kreizler also gains the services of two brilliant forensic specialists, the Isaacson brothers, Lucius and Marcus, whom Roosevelt has hired onto his more progressive police force. Over a sumptuous multi-course dinner at Delmonico's, the Isaacsons introduce Kreizler to new investigative techniques like anthropometry, the measurement of body parts, and dactyloscopy, the science of fingerprinting. The Isaacsons also believe that dead retinas retain the final images impressed on them. They wonder if this explains why the killer gouges his (or her) victims' eyes out.

Yet Kreizler and his colleagues are not free to investigate these conundrums in a vacuum. Unhappily, the mad killer works on a schedule apparently dictated by religious holidays and there is an abundance of those coming up. As a voice keeps whispering in the back of Moore's mind, 'Hurry up or a child will die!' Moreover, certain forces are working to thwart Kreizler's investigation.

Lucien Carr

When J. P. Morgan gathers a group of powerful citizens to confront Kreizler and Moore, Anthony Comstock, 'the notorious censor of the U.S. Post Office,' expresses his outrage on behalf of respectable society. ' 'Rank determinism!' Comstock declared, unable to contain himself. 'The idea that every man's behavior is decisively patterned in infancy and youth -- it speaks against freedom, against responsibility! Yes, I say it is un-American!' '

Mr. Carr is by and large successful in bringing to life his period thriller. An editor at MHQ: The Quarterly Journal of Military History and the author of 'The Devil Soldier,' a biography of the American mercenary Frederick Townsend Ward, among other books, Mr. Carr has lovingly evoked not only a physical sense of old New York but the spirit of the time as well, when the powers in charge were worried about unrest among the masses of cheap immigrant labor.

The only real weakness of the book lies in the stringent rationality of Kreizler's investigation. The more his logic makes sense the less threatening his quarry seems, at least to the reader. For if the murderer is purely the product of negative conditioning, then he or she is somehow drained of evil. As Moore sums up: 'Kreizler emphasized that no good would come of conceiving of this person as a monster, because he was most assuredly a man (or a woman); and that man or woman had once been a child. First and foremost, we must get to know that child, and to know his parents, his siblings, his complete world. It was pointless to talk about evil and barbarity and madness; none of these concepts would lead us any closer to him. But if we could capture the human child in our imaginations -- then we could capture the man in fact.'

True, the narrator of 'The Alienist' later distances himself somewhat from this outlook by lightly mocking Kreizler's radical determinism. Still, the story's fatalism grows tedious. You begin to long for a touch, say, of bad old Hannibal Lecter. Nor does it help that throughout most of the story none of the major characters are directly threatened by the killer. Of course, it is deplorable that children are being murdered. But none of them figure strongly enough in the story to arouse the reader's visceral identification.

Still, despite the absence of a truly evil threat and despite the somewhat musty quality of the narrative -- with its pseudo-Victorian prose, its mustache-twirling villains and its cliff-hanging chapter endings -- 'The Alienist' does keep its philosophical questions simmering. And by the time these are resolved we have been caught up in the resolution of the action. If Mr. Carr's novel remains somewhat mechanical, its parts are intricate enough to keep us entertained with a simulacrum of the past.
