'''''[[The Alienist''']]'', written by Caleb Carr, is a 1994 novel which features the story of the search for a serial killer in [[New York City]] in 1896. The killer is targeting a very specific, marginalized segment of the population. An investigative team is brought together to find the killer. The members of team include: a 19th-century psychologist and by extension his household employees, a journalist who is also the narrator, two detectives from the NYPD and the first woman to be employed by the NYPD. The novel follows their investigation into the mind of a killer.
 
A second book by Carr, ''The Angel of Darkness'' (1997), follows the team as they search for another serial killer.
