380pp. In red cloth boards with gilt titles (boards very gently rounded at corners and spine ends). Internally some moderate page tanning, else neat, clean and tight. An mystery story based on the story of Austria's Dreyfus case, when in 1914 a young army officer, passed over for promotion, was accused of mailing poisoned aphrodisiac capsules to ten members of the Imperial and Royal Austro-Hungarian Army's General Staff. The agonising death of one officer who swallowed a capsule scandalised a Vienna already nervous of an approaching war and set off one of the most extraordinary investigations on record.
