Every dream, inflection, or slip of tongue in his \"hysterical\" patients has meaning and reveals some hidden truth. When beautiful medium Charlotte Löouml;wenstein dies under extraordinary circumstances, Max's good friend, Detective Oskar Rheinhardt, calls for his expert assistance. Her body has been found in a room that can only be locked from the inside. She's been shot through the heart, but there's no gun and absolutely no trace of a bullet. All signs point to a supernatural killer, but Liebermann the scientist is not so easily convinced. Especially when one of Charlotte's clients is also found in a locked room-this time bludgeoned to death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnfolding in the Vienna of Klimt and Mahler, a time of unprecedented activity in the worlds of philosophy, science, and art, \u003ci\u003eA Death in Vienna\u003c\/i\u003e is \"an engrossing portrait of a legendary period as well as a brain teaser of startling perplexity\" (\u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrank Tallis\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and clinical psychologist.
