Angel of Darkness is a continuation of the Alienest story by the same author Caleb Carr, but written from the perspective of the errand boy Stevie. It takes them on the next case, but refers back to the prior case frequently. It deals with the concept of a mother's love being a natural state, or is it? When a series of deaths seem to be linked to a woman, the team works diligently to solve the case and save the kidnapped baby of a Spanish diplomat. All a the time when war with Spain seems likely and the case holds political ramifications. Then add Clarence Darrow, one of histories greatest legal minds, to the case and this one gets interesting. Very enjoyable read. I hope Carr writes another with these characters.
