Silent Angel
About This Novel
A long detective novel by the famous American novelist Caleb Carr. This book tells the story of a team led by a psychiatrist who solves serial murder cases. The story takes place in New York in 1896. At that time, New York was prosperous. On one side, there was great progress in science and technology, and on the other side, the gap between rich and poor was increasing. At this time, a series of serial murders occurred. The newly appointed police chief Theodore Roosevelt recruited criminal psychologist Laszlo Krezler, New York Times reporter John Moore, and Sarah Howard, who would become the first female police detective, to form an action team. They used emerging criminal psychology and fingerprint identification and other forensic science to analyze and investigate a serial murder case. In the process, members of Korezler's team encountered obstacles from gangs, corrupt police departments, political opponents, and even business giants who controlled the destiny of the United States. It is quite exciting to read, and you can't put it down. In the novel, the author reflects the advanced crime-solving methods that were just emerging at the time but were not widely used, such as fingerprint identification and criminal psychological profiling. This novel completely shows the criminal psychological process, searching and summarizing the murderer's characteristics from multiple crime scenes, thereby deducing his character flaws, and conducting an in-depth investigation into his childhood experience to find the murderer.
