Vienna blood / Frank Tallis. - Large print ed. - Leicester, [England] : Howes : Clipper Large Print, 2008. - 604 p. (large print) ; 23 cm. - The Liebermann Papers ; 2. .
In the grip of winter in 1902, a serial killer in Vienna embarks upon a bizarre campaign of murder. Vicious mutilation, a penchant for arcane symbols, and a seemingly random choice of victim are his most distinctive peculiarities. Detective Inspector, Oskar Rheinhardt summons a young disciple of Freud - his friend Dr Max Liebermann - to assist him with the case. The investigation draws them into the sphere of Vienna's secret societies - a murky underworld of German literary scholars, race theorists, and scientists inspired by the new evolutionary theories coming out of England. At first, the killer's mind seems impenetrable - his behaviour and cryptic clues impervious to psychoanalytic interpretation. However, it gradually becomes apparent that an extraordinary and shocking rationale underlies his actions.
