The Mahler Mayhem

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of a violent act during a Beethoven performance, the story follows retired art historian Megan Crespi as she investigates the bombing of a Mahler bust in Vienna. Tasked by Chief of Police Erich Decker, she uncovers a wave of anti-Semitic vandalism targeting Jewish monuments. As Crespi delves deeper, the investigation leads to a shocking climax during Mahler's "Resurrection" symphony, raising questions about culture, identity, and the persistence of hatred. The narrative explores themes of art, history, and resilience.
