Werthen quickly discovers that the young man appears to be alive and well in another country. But when a friend of Hans—a journalist who wrote a number of articles claiming the councilman who committed suicide was corrupt—is found dead, also from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Werthen fears that sinister forces are at work . . . &“[Jones uses] mystery fiction to resurrect beautiful, historic Vienna.&” —Kirkus Reviews
