A dogged police inspector and an insightful young psychiatrist match
wits with depraved criminal minds in this acclaimed mystery series set
in Freud's Vienna.
In glittering turn-of-the-century Vienna, brutal instinct and refined
intellect fight for supremacy. The latest, most disturbing example: the
mysterious and savage death of a young cadet in the most elite of
military academies, St. Florian's. Even using his cutting-edge
investigative techniques, Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt cannot
crack the school's closed and sadistic world. He must again enlist the
aid of his frequent ally, Dr. Max Liebermann, an expert in Freudian
psychology. But how can Liebermann help when he a crisis of his own:
handling his conflicted and forbidden feelings for two different women,
one a former patient? As the case unfolds, powerful forces will stop at
nothing to keep a dark secret.
