A major repackage for one of Britain's best historical crime writers

The hit novels behind the major BBC TV series Vienna Blood.
_________________________________________

A sexual predator is at large on the streets of Imperial Vienna.

The killer is no ordinary 'lust murderer', but rather an entirely new phenomenon, his deviance revealing the darker preoccupations of the age before the First World War.

Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt appeals to his friend, psychoanalyst Dr. Max Liebermann, for assistance. But to understand the killer's behaviour, Liebermann must make a journey into uncharted regions of the human mind, tracking a monster whose modus operandi combines both exquisite precision and savage cruelty.

As the investigation continues, Liebermann and Rheinhardt find themselves drawn into the worlds of art and couture, worlds in which glamorous appearances mask the most sinister of secrets. . .

Praise for Deadly Communion

An interesting, intelligent and enjoyable read

www.eurocrime.co.uk

Brilliantly combines the popular with the serious in clever historical thrillers

Independent

Confirms his place in the front rank of British thriller writers

Daily Mail

Frank Tallis's Deadly Communion takes his psychoanalyst protagonist Dr Max Liebermann deep into the mind of a murderer. Our hero suspects that the motivation for the murders lies in childhood trauma, and employs Freud's ideas about the unconscious to find a strikingly modern killer

The Sunday Times

From page one, I was hooked. The descriptions in this novel are clear, graphic and the atmosphere they create is one of mystery, intrigue and a definite need to turn the page

Newbooks

It's cleverly done and never dull, with science and folklore neatly woven into a fascinating plot. This, together with well researched and wonderfully imagined period detail, make Deadly Communion a rich and riveting read

Guardian

Tallis's writing still has the richness of literary fiction ... the reader is taken into the terrifying psyche of a murderer ... Deadly Communion is the most psychologically cohesive of the Max Liebermann outings
