内容简介 Book Description
An Intricate Tale of Murder And the Mind's Most Dangerous Mysteries

On a hot summer night in 1909, Sigmund Freud - already world famous and highly controversial - disembarks in New York from a steamship, joined by his rival Carl Jung. Among those waiting to greet him is Dr. Stratham Younger, a gifted physician who is one of Freud's most ardent American supporters. And so begins the visit that will be the great genius's first - and only - journey to America.

The morning after Freud's arrival, in an opulent penthouse across the city, a barely clad, beautiful woman is discovered murdered - whipped, mutilated, and strangled with a white silk tie. The next day, a rebellious heiress named Nora Acton barely escapes the same fate. When lovely Miss Acton, suffering from hysteria, cannot recall the terrifying incident, Dr. Younger calls on Freud to guide him through the girl's analysis. As he is drawn into her story, Younger comes to care deeply for this remarkable young woman and joins a murder investigation that leads throughout New York, from the grand ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria to the bottom of the East River, where laborers are working on the new Manhattan Bridge.

The Interpretation of Murder is an elegantly wrought entertainment filled with delicious surprises, subtle sleights of hand, and fascinating ideas. Drawing on Freud's case histories, Shakespeare's Hamlet, and the history of New York, this richly satisfying novel marks the debut of a brilliantly engaging new storyteller.

媒体推荐 Reviews
"The Interpretation of Murder is a bold page-turner that propels us from the start with a driving plot and intriguing characters, but also with ideas - a whole history of ideas. It's a richly motivated thriller that will make you reconsider the mysteries of Freud and Hamlet. Here is a novel that you'll want to put down only to think more about the book."
