Requiem in Vienna: A Viennese Mystery

Requiem in Vienna: A Viennese Mystery

"What Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did for Victorian London and Caleb Carr did for old NewÂ York, Sydney Jones does for historic Vienna."
â€”Karen Harper, New York Times bestselling author of the Queen Elizabeth I mystery series
Â
At first it seemed like a series of accidents plagued Viennaâ€™s Court Opera. But after a singer is killed during rehearsals of a new production,Â the evidence suggests something much more dangerous. Someone is trying to murder the famed conductor and composer Gustav Mahler. Worse, Mahler might not be the first musical genius to be dispatched by this unknown killer.
Â
Alma Schindler, one of Mahler's many would-be mistresses, asks the lawyer and aspiring private investigator Karl Werthen to help stop the attacks. With his new wife, Berthe, and his old friend, the criminologist Hanns Gross, Werthen delves into Vienna's rich society of musicians to discover the identity of the person who has targeted one of Austria's best-known artists.
Â
Set during the peak of Viennaâ€™s cultural renaissance and featuring some of the city's most colorful residents, Requiem in Vienna is a perfect historical fiction. Rich in description and populated by vivid characters, this is a mystery that will leave readers guessing until the very last moment.
