Praise for Little Demon in the City of Light:"Levingston has unearthed a whopper of a story, and lovingly crafted a dense, lyrical yarn that hits the true-crime trifecta of setting, story and so-what. Such books remind us that times may change, but the human animal does not.&#160;"&mdash;The New York Times"Levingston, who is nonfiction book editor of the Washington Post and knows a good story when he sees one, has given it a richly enjoyable telling. Its lurid and improbable plot twists are expertly transposed into a breathless true-crime thriller set against a sumptuous evocation of the boulevards, nightclubs and boudoirs of Belle &Eacute;poque Paris."&mdash;Wall Street Journal"...An engaging&mdash;and finally chilling&mdash;portrait of an uneasy era and a city of more shadow than light."&mdash;The Washington Post"...Fascinating...&#160;A rich portrait of the period, as well as the intriguing story of a notorious murder case, with its strange (and often amusing) cast of characters."&mdash;The Boston Globe"Equal parts period piece, forensic manual, and legal thriller, the book is a strong entry in the 'fascinating case in a fascinating time' genre."&mdash;The Daily Beast&ldquo;A terrific story well told.&rdquo;&mdash;The Seattle Times"...Readers are well-served by his reimagining of this amazing true story."&mdash;Minneapolis Star-Tribune"Levingston's smartly chipper prose and fine attention to detail...add an entertaining and authentic sensibility to this re-creation of a culture, a crime, and "the first time an accused murderer had put forward a hypnotism defense."&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;&hellip;The book is lovingly constructed from available sources, including newspapers, memoirs, and secondary histories, and immerses the reader in a period whose newfound obsessions&mdash;science and pseudo-science of the mind, criminal forensics, mass media, the macabre, and fame&mdash;have a seminal connection to our own time.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;&ldquo;&hellip;A well-constructed, informative work by a talented author.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;This is an amazing tale of sex and hypnosis and murder in Paris, and it&rsquo;s all true. Levingston has produced both a &lsquo;mesmerizing&rsquo; crime story and also a fascinating look at science and society in the late 19th century.&rdquo;&mdash;Walter Isaacson, CEO of the Aspen Institute and author of biographies of Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs&ldquo;Vividly conjuring a sweeping cast of characters who reflect the lusty excess and dark anxieties of the times, Little Demon in the City of Light paints a lavish portrait of Belle&#160;&Eacute;poque Paris while unfurling one of the most compelling murder trials in the city&rsquo;s history. With penetrating insight and radiant style, Steven Levingston has crafted a mesmerizing true story.&rdquo;&mdash;Karen Abbott, author of Sin in the Second City and American Rose&ldquo;Like The Devil in the White City, this Little Demon in the City of Light tracks murder and sexual crime in the days of silk top hats and horse-drawn carriages. The reader will enter Paris, witness a grisly crime, then follow a trans-Atlantic escape and the relentless pursuit by the authorities. The tale plays out not as a whodunit, but rather as a will-she-get-away-it and&hellip; should she? In effect, the beautiful young Parisienne didn't plead insanity but rather hypnotism. Was she a calculating predator? Or was she herself a victim, mesmerized by her Svengali-like lover to commit crimes? You decide whether the lawyers, doctors and judges of 19th century Paris got the verdict right.&rdquo;&mdash;Richard Zacks, author of Island of Vice and The Pirate Hunter&ldquo;Steven Levingston has given us a deeply-researched and engagingly-told story of murder and science in turn-of-the-century Paris. We think of the Belle &Eacute;poque as all light and gaiety, but the era had a macabre side as well, which Levingston vividly brings to life.&rdquo;&mdash;Douglas Starr, author of The Killer of Little Shepherds and Blood"If a book can hover right at the edge of almost-magic and real murder, then Little Demon in the City of Light is that book. Author Steven Levingston casts a spell that weaves together a horrific late-19th century murder in Paris, a pair of the most devious killers possible, and a mystery that hinges on a question that still haunts us today&mdash;how much power does one person have over another when it comes to evil?"&mdash;Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York&ldquo;Steven Levingston casts a hypnotic spell in this remarkable tale of sex, murder and mesmerism in&#160;19th century Paris. Magnifique!&rdquo;&#160;&#160;&mdash;Daniel Stashower, author of The Hour of Peril: The Secret Plot to Murder Lincoln Before the Civil War&ldquo;A first-rate detective story, a sensational trial, and Paris when the Eiffel Tower was new&mdash;a wonderfully entertaining piece of social history.&rdquo;&mdash;Joseph Kanon, author of The Good German and Istanbul Passage&#160;&ldquo;What a hypnotic read! Steven Levingston has used an extraordinary French murder case to conjure up an unforgettable picture of Belle &Eacute;poque Paris and its sexual, cultural and supernatural obsessions. Like Erik Larson&rsquo;s The Devil in the White City, Levingston uses his &ldquo;Little Demon&rdquo; to illuminate a historical period and the strange issues that animated it. Meticulously researched and well written, this is truly a book that will take you to another time and place&mdash;contemplating bizarre characters and issues you never imagined.&rdquo;&mdash;David Ignatius, Washington Post columnist and author of the forthcoming novel, The Director
