About This Book
A spellbinding literary thriller about terror, war, greed, and the
darkest secrets of the human soul, by the author of the million-copy
bestseller The Interpretation of Murder.
Under a clear blue September sky, America's financial center in lower
Manhattan became the site of the largest, deadliest terrorist attack in
the nation's history. It was September 16, 1920. Four hundred people
were killed or injured. The country was appalled by the magnitude and
savagery of the incomprehensible attack, which remains unsolved to this
day.
The bomb that devastated Wall Street in 1920 explodes in the opening
pages of The Death Instinct, Jed Rubenfeld's provocative and mesmerizing
new novel. War veteran Dr. Stratham Younger and his friend Captain James
Littlemore of the New York Police Department are caught on Wall Street
on the fateful day of the blast. With them is the beautiful Colette
Rousseau, a French radiochemist whom Younger meets while fighting in the
world war. A series of inexplicable attacks on Rousseau, a secret buried
in her past, and a mysterious trail of evidence lead Young, Littlemore,
and Rousseau on a thrilling international and psychological journey-from
Paris to Prague, from the Vienna home of Dr. Sigmund Freud to the
corridors of power in Washington, D.C., and ultimately to the hidden
depths of our most savage instincts. As the seemingly disjointed pieces
of what Younger and Littlemore learn come together, the two uncover the
shocking truth behind the bombing.
Blending fact and fiction in a brilliantly convincing narrative, Jed
Rubenfeld has forged a gripping historical mystery about a tragedy that
holds eerie parallels to our own time.
