A Death in Valencia: A Mystery (Chief Inspector Max Cámara #2)
by Jason Webster“Tight plotting, rich atmospherics, and an engagingly flawed lead distinguish Webster’s second contemporary mystery” following Or the Bull Kills You (Publishers Weekly, starred review).Max Cámara is feeling low. Ominous cracks have appeared in the walls of his flat; the body of a well-known paella chef has been washed up on the beach; there are rows and threats about abortion clinics in anticipation of the Pope’s visit to Valencia; and Town Hall officials are set on demolishing El Cabanyal, the colorful fisherman’s quarter on Valencia’s seafront. As Cámara untangles these threads, he stumbles into a web of corruption and violence, uncovering deep animosities and hidden secrets, and forcing him to question his own doubts and desires.This is the second novel in Webster’s dark and witty series, following his widely praised debut, Or the Bull Kills You. The plot is fast and twisting, the scene-setting vivid, and the atmosphere powerfully authentic. Starring the determined Cámara, with his love of flamenco and brandy, and occasional doped-out high, A Death in Valencia delves into issues that rouse unruly passions and divide the Spanish people today.“Jason Webster has made Valencia his own . . . This is Chief Inspector Max Cámara’s second outing, and his colourful personality is every bit a match for the vibrant but often troubled home of paella he has to keep safe.” —The Daily Mirror (UK)“[Camara’s] perceptions of what is wrong with Spanish society form an original background to a complex thriller.” —The Independent (UK)

On a table lies a suicide note, claiming that there is such a thing as forbidden knowledge. All signs point to a supernatural killer, but Liebermann the scientist is not so easily convinced. Set in the Vienna of Freud, Klimt, and Mahler, a time of unprecedented activity in the worlds of philosophy, science, and art, A Death in Vienna is an elegantly written novel, taut with suspense and rich in historical details.

A Death in Vienna (Liebermann Papers #1)
by Frank TallisIn 1902, elegant Vienna is the city of the new century, the center of discoveries in everything from the writing of music to the workings of the human mind. But now a brutal homicide has stunned its citizens and appears to have bridged the gap between science and the supernatural. Two very different sleuths from opposite ends of the spectrum will need to combine their talents to solve the boggling crime: Detective Oskar Rheinhardt, who is on the cutting edge of modern police work, and his friend Dr. Max Liebermann, a follower of Sigmund Freud and a pioneer on new frontiers of psychology. As a team they must use both hard evidence and intuitive analysis to solve a medium's mysterious murder-one that couldn't have been committed by anyone alive. An engrossing portrait of a legendary period as well as a brain teaser of startling perplexity ... In Tallis's sure hands, the story evolves with grace and excitement ... A perfect combination of the hysterical past and the cooler--but probably more dangerous--present.
