THIS much-hyped debut novel, a historical thriller by Jed Rubenfeld, a Yale law professor, deploys the surefire Da Vinci Code formula: titillation plus high-culture trivia. Alternating scenes of erotic asphyxiation with references to Copernicus and Hegel, The Interpretation of Murder takes as its subjects Sigmund Freud’s 1909 visit to America and a series of attacks on young society women.

The Interpretation of Murder leads readers from the salons of Gramercy Park, through secret passages, to Chinatown-even far below the currents of the East River where laborers are building the Manhattan Bridge.
