Detective Inspector Oskar Reinhardt is baffled. Could the killer be mentally ill, someone the victims came into contact with? Some are even blaming the murders on the devil. But when psychoanalyst Dr. Max Liebermann learns that both victims were vocal members of a shadowy anti-Semitic group, he turns his gaze to the city's close-knit Hasidic community. The doctor is drawn into an urban underworld that hosts and hides virulent racists on one side and followers of kabbalah on the other. And as the evidence--and bodies--pile up, Liebermann must reconsider his own path, the one that led him away from the miraculous and toward a life of the mind.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A strong, intelligent plot and a terrific atmosphere of fin-de-siècle Vienna."--<i>The Times, </i>London <p/>Tallis's excellent fourth puzzler set in early 20th-century Vienna (after 2008's <i>Fatal Lies</i>) neatly blends mystery and history...Fans of Caleb Carr will feel right at home. --<i>Publisher's Weekly</i>, starred review <p/>The historical details of police work and forensic investigation again are a strong point, and with this book's inclusion of a trip to Prague, readers are introduced to another fascinating city...A solid entry in an excellent historical mystery series. --<i>Booklist <p/></i>Captivating...[an] elegantly designed and executed period mystery. -<i>New York Times Book Review</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Frank Tallis is a writer and practicing clinical psychologist.
