Kreizler series

The Kreizler series is a series of historical mystery novels by Caleb Carr set primarily in the last 19th century and early 20th century.

The series' main character is the psychologist Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, who is assisted in his adventures by reporter John Schuyler Moore, policewoman Sara Howard and Stevie ‘Stevepipe’ Taggart. He is a child psychologist who is an early criminal profiler who tracks down serial killers. He works with chief of police Theodore Roosevelt and encounters many other real-life people in the novels.

The Alienist and its sequel The Angel of Darkness are set at the end of the 19th century. The next book in the series Surrender, New York is set in 2016, but the main protagonist, Dr. Trajan Jones, is also a criminal psychologist, and is the world’s leading expert on the life and work of Dr. Laszlo Kreizler.

On 11th April 2016, Entertainment Weekly announced that Caleb Carr will author two new books, one that will be a sequel, and one a prequel, to "The Alienist". The first will be a sequel, set 20 years after The Angel of Darkness, in 1915 New York City, and is “centered on nativist violence and terrorism during America’s involvement in World War I". The second book, the prequel will be called "The Strange Case of Miss Sarah X", and will see a youthful Kreizler, after finishing his psychology training at Harvard, fall under the spell of William James, have his first run-in with Roosevelt, and delve into the secret life of Sara Howard.

In April, 2015, Deadline reported that Paramount Television had decided to use a three-year, first-look production deal they made with Anonymous Content productions to adapt The Alienist as an event TV series. Paramount also announced that Oscar-winning Forrest Gump screenwriter Eric Roth had come on board the project as executive producer, as did Hossein Amini as both writer for the series and executive producer. It was also announced that the season 1 True Detective director Cary Fukunaga would be brought on board to direct all the episodes and act as an executive producer.
