<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The bronze bust of composer/conductor Gustav Mahler is blown up at the Vienna State Opera, causing Megan Crespi to investigate a spate of anti-Semitic vandalisms and finally murder in the "Waltz Capital."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>During a performance of Beethoven's <em>Fidelio</em> at the Vienna State Opera there is an explosion in the foyer just off the auditorium. Auguste Rodin's famous 1909 bronze bust of composer/conductor Gustav Mahler has been blown up and a hate-filled note has been left at the scene demanding that there be "no more Jews defiling our culture." Retired art historian/musicologist Megan Crespi, in Vienna to lecture, is at the performance with her former student, the renowned cellist Egga Streicher, and is asked by her friend, Chief of Police Erich Decker, to help in tracking down the culprit. Soon copy-cat vandalism of Jewish monuments around the city breaks out. Things come to a horrendous climax during a performance of Mahler's great Second Symphony, the "Resurrection" symphony, but is it the only surprise awaiting Megan Crespi's dangerous investigation? Includes Readers Guide.</p>
