{"product_id":"vienna-blood-9780812977769","title":"Vienna Blood","description":"The second in the Dr. Max Liebermann series, literature’s first psychoanalytic detective.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In the grip of a Siberian winter in 1902, a serial killer in Vienna embarks upon  a bizarre campaign of murder. Vicious mutilation, a penchant for arcane symbols,  and a seemingly random choice of victim are his most distinctive peculiarities. Detective  Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt summons a young disciple of Freud - his friend Dr. Max  Liebermann — to assist him with the case. The investigation draws them into the sphere  of Vienna’s secret societies — a murky underworld of German literary scholars, race  theorists, and scientists inspired by the new evolutionary theories coming out of  England. At first, the killer’s mind seems impenetrable — his behaviour and cryptic  clues impervious to psychoanalytic interpretation; however, gradually, it becomes  apparent that an extraordinary and shocking rationale underlies his actions. . .  . \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Against this backdrop of mystery and terror, Liebermann struggles with his own  demons. The treatment of a patient suffering from paranoia erotica (a delusion of  love) and his own fascination with the enigmatic Englishwoman Amelia Lydgate raises  doubts concerning the propriety of his imminent marriage. To resolve the dilemma,  he must entertain the unthinkable — risking opprobrium and accusations of cowardice.","brand":"Random House Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62250870571395,"sku":"9780812977769","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780812977769.jpg?v=1785419243","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/vienna-blood-9780812977769","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
