DESCRIPTION:
It is a truth that, Jones believes, leads away from their world and back to the increasingly wealthy city where both he and his long-dead intellectual guide, Dr Kreizler, did their greatest work. Senior law enforcement officials are quick to blame a serial killer, yet their efforts to apprehend this criminal are peculiarly ineffective.Meanwhile, in the county's small town of Surrender, Trajan Jones, a psychological profiler (and the world's leading expert on the life and work of one Dr. Laszlo Kreizler), and Michael Li, a trace evidence expert, once famed advisors to the New York City Police Department, teach online courses in profiling and forensic science from Jones's family farm. One of these throwaways, Lucas Kurtz, along with his blind older sister, cross paths with Jones and Li, offering information that could blow the case wide open.Racing against the case's mounting stakes, Jones and Li find that they are battling not only to unravel the mystery of how the throwaways di
With gut-punching twists and the potential for a sequel, this intelligent, timely thriller will be savored by Carr’s fans and new readers alike.”—Booklist (starred review) “A whodunit that weds leisurely nineteenth-century storytelling with twenty-first-century unpleasantness Carr’s story poses an utterly modern question: for a career-minded politico, which is worse, a child-neglect scandal or a serial killer on the loose?

Really good mystery Mystery_reader I received Surrender, New York the day it came out, I preordered it after reading Michael Connolly's review in the New York Times. I'm not sure why some of the reviews here are critical of the length, it's not longer than any other recent mysteries I've read lately.I really enjoyed Surrender, New York. It feels similar to The Alienist-- meaning you get drawn into it right away, and before you know it you're completely wrapped up in the book. The story is well paced, and the stuff about f. Not as absorbing as I had hoped bob I enjoyed this book, but not nearly as much as Carr's earlier Kreizler series books "The Alienist" and "Angel of Darkness". My tepid response to "Surrender, New York" is due in part to the needless length of the book and it's repetitious, plodding cadence.But my reactions are also due to the author's less than satisfying exploration of the present in "Surrender". His earlier two Kreizler books took place in the distant past. In the earlier books, the reader has to fill in much more of th
