The hit novels behind the major new TV series Vienna Blood ___________________________ Vienna, 1902. Vienna is in the grip of the worst winter for years. Amid the snow and ice, a killer embarks upon a bizarre campaign of murder. Vicious mutilation, a penchant for arcane symbols, and a seemingly random choice of victim are his most distinctive peculiarities. Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt summons a young disciple of Freud - his friend Dr. Max Liebermann - to assist him with the case. The investigation draws them into the sphere of Vienna's secret societies - a murky underworld of German literary scholars, race theorists, and scientists inspired by the new English evolutionary theories. At first, the killer's mind seems impenetrable - his behaviour and cryptic clues impervious to psychoanalytic interpretation; however, gradually, it becomes apparent that an extraordinary and shocking rationale underlies his actions ... Against this backdrop of mystery and terror, Liebermann struggles with his own demons. The treatment of a patient suffering from paranoia erotica and his own fascination with the enigmatic Englishwoman Amelia Lydgate raise doubts concerning the propriety of his imminent marriage. To resolve the dilemma, he must entertain the unthinkable - risking disgrace and accusations of cowardice.

    Själv föredrar jag mordhistorier med ett motiv och en nätt samling misstänkta. Seriemördare med diverse galenskaper i bagaget finner jag obegripligt tråkigt. Visst. Anacondan Hildegard var ju ett oväntat offer, men i övrigt... I den här boken är det intressanta allt det som INTE har med morden att göra. Som Libermanns tveksamhet inför sitt stundande äktenskap, utredandet av herr Beibers rörande sexualneuros och det oväntade "fyndet" i Wiens kloaksystem...
    Eftersom det är välskrivet och ti... Läs hela recensionen

dazzling * Sunday Times * A fascinating portrait of one of the most vibrant yet sinister cities of fin-de-siecle Europe. On top of this Tallis has laid a murder mystery of great intelligence * The Times * An astute and beautifully written psychological thriller ... his handling of the psychoanalysis and criminal pathology are fantastic ... a romping tale * Scotland on Sunday * Interesting, original and ... a second novel even better than the author's first * Literary Review * Tallis spices things up with a cast of outlandish suspects and colourful witnesses, and a series of mounting suspicions, wrong turns and dead ends creates an exhilarating chase * Telegraph *
