Death and the Maiden: A Max Liebermann Mystery

Frank Tallis, acclaimed author of the Edgar Awardâ€“nominated Vienna Secrets, returns with a new and masterfully woven tale full of deceit, love, and rich mystery. Set in fin de siÃ¨cle Vienna, itâ€™s perfect for fans of Boris Akunin, Alan Furst, and David Liss.
Â
Ida Rosenkranz is top diva at the Vienna Opera, but sheâ€™s gone silent for good after an apparent laudanum overdose. Learning of her professional rivalries and her scandalous affairs with older men, Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt and Dr. Max Liebermann suspect foul play instead. Their investigation leads them into dark and dangerous conflicts with Gustav Mahler, the operaâ€™s imperious director, who is himself the target of a poison pen campaign, and Karl Lueger, Viennaâ€™s powerful and anti-Semitic mayor. As the peril escalates, Rheinhardt grows further into his role as family man, while Liebermann finds himself at odds with his inamorata, Amelia, whoâ€™s loosening both her corset and her tongue in the new feminist movement.
