Thriller Political
Vienna, 1904.
The body of a man—still sitting in a chair—is discovered
in an abandoned piano factory on the outskirts of the
city. He has been shot dead but his face has been
horribly disfigured with acid, making identification
impossible. In front of the body are three chairs
positioned conspicuously in a straight line. Who were the
former occupants? Had they sat in judgement and
pronounced a sentence of death?
Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt calls on his good
friend Doctor Max Liebermann—psychiatrist and disciple of
Sigmund Freud—to assist in an investigation that draws
them both into the shadowy and sexually unconventional
world of fringe political activism. It is a world
populated by Bohemians, Utopian idealists, and
anarchists, many of whom endorse acts of terror to
achieve their revolutionary aims.
When bomb-making equipment is found in a suburban
basement, the sinister Imperial intelligence bureau (who
have been secretly monitoring Rheinhardt’s investigation)
make themselves known. A legendary anarchist known only
by his code name—Mephistopheles—is abroad in Vienna. An
appalling act of terror has been planned and time is
running out. Rheinhardt must hope that Liebermann, with
his profound knowledge of psychology and science, will be
able to prevent the coming catastrophe.
The latest novel in the iconic Max Liebermann mystery
series, Mephisto Waltz is a tale of murder, romance,
intrigue, and espionage set in the atmospheric world of
fin de siecle Vienna.
