Trade Reviewdazzling * Sunday Times *
A fascinating portrait of one of the most vibrant yet sinister cities of
fin-de-siecle Europe. On top of this Tallis has laid a murder mystery of great intelligence * The Times *
An astute and beautifully written psychological thriller ... his handling of the psychoanalysis and criminal pathology are fantastic ... a romping tale * Scotland on Sunday *
Interesting, original and ... a second novel even better than the author's first * Literary Review *
Tallis spices things up with a cast of outlandish suspects and colourful witnesses, and a series of mounting suspicions, wrong turns and dead ends creates an exhilarating chase * Telegraph *
