      Nueva York, 1896. John Schuyler Moore, reportero de sucesos de The New York Times, recibe una convocatoria en plena madrugada. Su antiguo compañero de Harvard, el famoso psicólogo (o alienista) Laszlo Kreizler, le pide que se presente en el puente de Williamsburg, donde se ha producido un crimen horrible. El director de la policía encargará a Kreizler y al propio Moore que dirijan la investigación: una jugada muy atrevida, pues un alienista es considerado poco menos que un hechizero. El problema para ambos investigadores, es que no saben nada del criminal. Para llegar a él tendrán que trazar un perfil psicológico basándose en su capacidad de penetración mental...

      Surrender, New York
    • Some years ago, a remarkable manuscript long rumoured to exist was discovered: The Legend of Broken. It tells of a prosperous fortress city, Broken, where order reigns at the point of a sword - even as scheming factions secretly vie for control of the surrounding kingdom. Meanwhile, outside the city's granite walls, an industrious tribe of exiles known as the Bane forages for sustenance in the wilds of Davon Wood. At every turn, the lives of Broken's defenders and its would-be destroyers intertwine until secretly, and under pressure from their people, four leaders unite. Together, they hope to exact a ruinous revenge on Broken, ushering in a day of reckoning when the mighty walls will be breached forever in a triumph of science over superstition. Breathtakingly profound and compulsively readable, Caleb Carr's long-awaited new book is an action-packed and enthralling masterpiece.
