Italia, en la actualidad. Un cadáver en descomposición aparece en un hotel de la Toscana. El forense dictamina que ha sido envenenado con una pócima llamada acqua toffana, un poderoso veneno destilado en el siglo XVIII.
Ajena a estos hechos, Teresa Salieri, la única descendiente viva del compositor Antonio Salieri, lucha por limpiar el nombre de su antepasado con la ayuda de Laura, su joven ayudante. Según la tradición popular, Salieri envenenó a Mozart consumido por la envidia.
Viena, siglo XVIII. Salieri entra a formar parte del grupo musical del emperador con solo dieciséis años mientras Leopold Mozart, padre del célebre compositor, llega a la ciudad con sus hijos para exhibirlos en la corte. Los encontronazos entre Leopold y todo aquel que hace sombra a su hijo, empezando por Salieri, empiezan a recrudecerse hasta que Mozart cae enfermo. Todo apunta a que ha sido envenenado con acqua toffana, pero ¿quién quiere acabar con la vida del joven genio?
¿Fue realmente Salieri el segundón musical, envidioso y perverso, que acabó envenenando a su rival más directo? ¿Qué papel jugó Leopoldo, el padre de Mozart, en la rivalidad de los dos genios musicales?
La verdad sobre la muerte de Mozart lleva oculta demasiado tiempo y hay quien está dispuesto a todo con tal de revelarla.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Joseph Gelinek is back with his most ambitious musical thriller to date, which centers around one of the most important and influential figures in the history of music.
Italy, modern day. A decomposing cadaver appears in a hotel room in Legnano. The medical examiner determines that he has been poisoned with a concoction called aqua tofana, a powerful poison distilled in the 18th century.
Vienna, 18th century. Sixteen-year-old Salieri joins the emperor's musical group, while Leopoldo Mozart, father of the famous composer, arrives in the city with his sons to show them off to the court. The clashes between Leopoldo and any who might overshadow his son, starting with Salieri, begin to get worse until Mozart falls ill. Everything indicates he has been poisoned with aqua tofana, but who has poisoned the young genius?
Mozart's Two Deaths is an exciting historical thriller that poses answers to the questions that many music historians have been asking: was it really Salieri who poisoned his closest rival? What role did Leopoldo, Mozart's father, play in the rivalry between these two musical geniuses?

About the Author
En la vida real, Joseph Gelinek fue un compositor y pianista austriaco que vivió a mediados del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX. Trabajó en la corte del Conde Kinsky por recomendación de Mozart. Fue conocido por sus composiciones para piano y logró un cierto éxito de 1800 a 1810, siendo prácticamente olvidado hoy en día.
Así pues, Pradera decidió usar el nombre de este autor casi desconocido para el público español a la hora de presentar sus novelas, en los que el mundo de la música es de una importancia predominante. De su obra habría que destacar títulos históricos como El violín del diablo o el thriller de novela negra Morir a los 27.
