would like to thank, in order of appearance, Rene Garcia (and Risa Bramon Garcia), Betty Moos, Mike Finnell, Joe Dante, Kathy Lingg, Cynthia Schulte, Helen Mossier, Garry Hart, Bob Eisele, Dan, Dugan, Thorn Polizzi, Jamie Freitag, Sandy Veneziano, Jason La Padura, Natalie Hart, Deborah Everton, Marshall Harvey, Michael Thau, Kathy Zatarga, Bill Millar, Hal Harrison and the rest of the crew at Paramount, along with—for they cannot be forgotten—John Corbett, John Pyper-Ferguson, Rod Taylor, J. Madison Wright, Darryl Theirse, Carolyn McCormick (and Byron Jennings and Cooper), Marjorie Monaghan, Joel Swetow and the rest of the cast of the Chronicles. That this book will be released before that project is evidence not of any shortcomings on their parts, but of why New York need never fear a certain desert village in Southern California as a rival for artistic innovation and cultural power.

Special gratitude goes to Lynn Freer and Jim Turner, along with my buddy and morning nemesis, Otto; John and Kathy von Hartz; my brother Simon and his wife, Cristina, along with my most reliable advisers Lydia, Sam, Ben, and Gabriella; my brother Ethan and his wife, Sarah; Maria von Hartz and Jay Shapiro; William von Hartz; Debbie Deuble; Ezequiel Vinao; Oren Jacoby; Meghann Haldeman; Ellen Blain; and the ever-reliable Tom Pivinski. I would also like to thank Marvin Cochran, and have faith that wherever he is, he’ll hear me.

The completion of this book, along with the sanity of its author, were consistently aided by the remarkable sense and sensibility of Elisabeth Harnois.

THE ALIENIST

It is 1896, and a serial killer is on the loose in New York City. Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a pioneer in forensic psychiatry, assembles a motley crew of investigators to embark on a quest that takes them into the tortured mind of this killer. Old New York comes to vivid life as Kreizler and his team race against the clock to hunt down a murderer before the death toll rises.

From the gastronomic delights of Delmonico’s to the corruption of Tammany Hall, THE ALIENIST delivers an unforgettable portrait of modern evil in old New York.
