The Alienist is one of my favorites, and I liked the sequel almost as much (even if I can't think of its title).

agreed. Since reading The Alienst, I feel like I'm always looking for something like it but everything seems to fall short.

We talked about Dan Simmons' Drood the other day -- there was something similar in that, I think. Bet you'll see it, too!

Hi Zeekers ! I thought this was a great book!!!
