When a beautiful medium dies under extraordinary circumstances, shot in a room that only locks from the inside with absolutely no trace of a bullet or gun and accompanied by a suicide note that claims there is "such a thing as forbidden knowledge," psychoanalyst Max Liebermann calls on his good friend, Detective Oskar Rheinhardt, to help him investigate. Reprint. 15,000 first printing.

"An engrossing portrait of a legendary period as well as a brain teaser of startling perplexity . . . In Tallis's sure hands, the story evolves with grace and excitement. . . . A perfect combination of the hysterical past and the cooler-but probably more dangerous-present" --Chicago Tribune

"[An] elegant historical mystery . . . stylishly presented and intelligently resolved." -- The New York Times Book Review

"[A Death in Vienna is] a winner for its smart and flavorsome fin-de-siècle portrait of the seat of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and for introducing Max Liebermann, a young physician who is feverish with the possibilities of the new science of psychoanalysis." -- The Washington Post

"Frank Tallis knows what he's writing about in this excellent mystery. . . . His writing and feel for the period are top class." -- The Times (London)
