Vienna Blood Mathews, Adrian

**Vienna Blood by Adrian Mathews - Preloved Paperback**

Set against the backdrop of fin-de-siècle Vienna, this gripping historical thriller plunges you into a world where Freudian psychology meets Jack the Ripper-style murders. When a series of brutal killings rocks the Austrian capital, detective inspector Oskar Rheinhardt teams up with his friend, the young Dr. Max Liebermann, a student of the revolutionary Sigmund Freud. Together they navigate Vienna's coffee house culture, anti-Semitic tensions, and the emerging field of psychoanalysis to catch a killer who's as intellectually twisted as he is deadly.

Perfect for fans of historical crime fiction, psychology enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys their murders served with a side of intellectual intrigue. Mathews weaves together real historical figures and fictional characters with the skill of someone who clearly did their homework on both criminal psychology and Habsburg-era Vienna.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks shows some gentle wear but all the psychological insights remain perfectly intact.
