Beer Alex - The Second Rider - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: First in historical crime series by the new star of Austrian crime fiction. (Kronen Zeitung) Most of the remaining population of Vienna in the ruins of World War I is surviving by its wits living hand to mouth in a city rife with crime prostitution and grotesquely wounded beggars. Post - war Vienna is a deeply scarred city where the glories of the Hapsburg Empire are but a fading memory where the black market is the only market and shortages of vital goods create countless opportunities for unscrupulous operators. Into this cauldron of vice comes Inspector August Emmerich a veteran whose ambitions lead him to break the rules when necessary and whose abiding wish is to join the Viennese major crimes unit. When a corpse is found in the woods outside the city and immediately labelled a suicide Emmerich convinced it was nothing of the sort sees a chance to prove his mettle. But his investigations will reveal a more insidious and homicidal urge lurking in the city than even he anticipates.
