The Interpretation of Murder: A Novel

This striking debut—a suspenseful thriller inspired by historical facts—is being compared to The Historian and The Alienist .Upon Freud's arrival in Manhattan in 1909, a beautiful young woman is found dead, dangling from a chandelier. Days later a second intended victim daringly escapes the killer, but suffering from hysteria, she has little memory of the attack. Freud and his devoted American disciple, Dr. Stratham Younger, are called in to analyze her, but the investigation grows more complex with each new discovery.
