The Alienist - Angel of Darkness premiers tonight on TNT

I enjoyed the First Season. This looks good too from this trailer.

Trailer:
https://www.tntdrama.com/shows/the-alienist-angel-of-darkness/clips/angel-of-darkness-overview

An unflinching, gripping, turn-of-the-century murder mystery that spotlights both New York’s wealthy elite and the struggling underbelly of the city’s “Gilded Age.” In The Alienist: Angel of Darkness, Sara (Fanning) has opened her own private detective agency and is leading the charge on a brand-new case. She reunites with Dr. Kreizler (Brühl), the formidable alienist, and John Moore (Evans), now a New York Times reporter, to find Ana Linares, the kidnapped infant daughter of the Spanish Consular.

Their investigation leads them down a sinister path of murder and deceit, heading towards a dangerous and elusive killer. As in The Alienist, the series shines a light on the provocative issues of the era –- the corruption of institutions, income inequality, yellow press sensationalism, and the role of women in society –- themes that still resonate today.

After watching an episode or two of the first season I devoured all of Caleb Carr's books. He can spin a yarn! Hoping this season hews closely to the book.

I read The Alienist. But I have not read Angel of Darkness. I don't think I ever knew about it honestly. Looking forward to watching this. Need to go out and buy some popcorn.
