Alienist cont'd

This week in my reading of the Alienist, the plot thickened more. John Moore disagrees with the coroner's report and decides that the murder of the child is connected to two other murders in which the victims had their eyes gouged out as well. They set up a base for operations outside of the police precinct to get rid of any political ties, and Roosevelt isn't able to stay with them that often because he can't risk his political career in the murder mystery. New detectives are found to help investigate and use new techniques that are modern to them, old to us. These are fingerprinting, and the Bertillion System. When I finished reading another person was killed, yet of what I know not. More next week!
