Requiem in Vienna

Requiem in Vienna

by J. Sydney Jones

  • MYSTERY
  • 2010
  • HARD COVER
  • 320 PAGES

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. Alma Schindler, one of Mahler's many would-be mistresses, asks the lawyer and aspiring private investigator Karl Werthen to stop the attacks. Soon Werthen discovers that Mahler might not be the first musical genius to be dispatched by this unknown killer. With the recent deaths of Johann Strauss and Johannes Brahms, he fears a madman is killing the great musicians of Vienna.  (AST107, $24.99)
