An engrossing portrait of a legendary period as well as a brain
teaser of startling perplexity --Chicago TribuneIn Vienna at the
turn of the twentieth century, Max Liebermann is at the forefront
of psychoanalysis, practicing the controversial new science with
all the skill of a master detective. Every dream, inflection, or
slip of tongue in his "hysterical" patients has meaning and reveals
some hidden truth. When a mysterious and beautiful medium dies
under extraordinary circumstances, Max's good friend, Detective
Oskar Rheinhardt, calls for his expert assistance. The medium's
body has been found in a room that can only be locked from the
inside. Her body has been shot, but there's no gun and absolutely
no trace of a bullet. On a table lies a suicide note, claiming that
there is "such a thing as forbidden knowledge. All signs point to a
supernatural killer, but Liebermann the scientist is not so easily
convinced. Set in the Vienna of Freud, Klimt, and Mahler, a time of
unprecedented activity in the worlds of philosophy, science, and
art, A Death in Vienna is an elegantly written novel, taut with
suspense and rich in historical details.
