After all, under its gaiety and brilliance Vienna has always been a centre of intrigue.

The distinguished industrialist, the fair girl and the aggressive young man although Superintendent McDonald tried to avoid studying his fellow-passengers, he simply couldn't help it. For him, it was difficult to adjust to being on holiday. He turned away deliberately. These people weren't his problem, he was on holiday or so he thought.

Set against the enchanting background of post war Vienna, with its beautiful palaces and gardens, its disenchanted residents and scars of war, E. C. R. Lorac constructs a characteristic detective story, sure to puzzle and excite.

This exceedingly rare mystery, first published in 1956, makes its triumphant return to print for the first time since its original appearance.

First published in 1956, this classic mystery leaps out of rarity to join the British Library Crime Classics series. Inspector McDonald ventures abroad into Ally occupied Vienna on this busman's holiday.
