Deadly Communion

FRANK TALLIS

Publication: Century, 2010, London

First edition. Near fine in pictorial wrappers. Trade-size paperback. A sexual predator is at large on the streets of Imperial Vienna. Once again, Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt asks his good friend psychoanalyst Dr. Max Liebermann for assistance. Early signs indicate that the killer is no ordinary 'lust murderer' but an entirely new phenomenon, his particular deviance revealing the darker preoccupations of the age. To understand his behavior, Liebermann must employ the latest developments in psychoanalysis and make a journey into uncharted regions of the human mind. As the investigations proceed, Liebermann and Rheinhardt find themselves drawn into the worlds of art and couture, worlds in which glamorous appearances mask the most sinister secrets.
