Requiem in Vienna
"What Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did for Victorian London and Caleb Carr did for old New York, Sydney Jones does for historic Vienna."--Karen Harper, New York Times bestselling author of the Queen Elizabeth I mystery series At first it seemed like a series of accidents plagued Vienna's Court Opera. But after a singer is killed during rehearsals of a new production, 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. 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. Set during the peak of Vienna'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.

- "Mord im Dreivierteltakt. Wien 1899: Aufregung an der Oper. Während der letzten Proben der Saison, die Gustav Mahler leitet, kommt eine junge Sängerin ums Leben. Ein Vorhang stürzt herab und erschlägt sie. Ein Unfall? Alma Schindler, eine junge Verehrerin des Meisters, glaubt nicht daran. Sie wendet sich an den Anwalt Karl Werthen. Er soll nachforschen, ob jemand Gustav Mahler nach dem Leben trachtet. Wenig später geschieht ein zweiter Mord - und es wird ein Attentat auf den berühmten Komponisten verübt."
