Review:
`Resembles Hitchcock's Rear Window rescripted by Dostoevsky and Kafka' * Sunday Times * `A provoking thriller in which nobody is what they seem' * Daily Telegraph * 'Vyleta's subtly engaging thriller is tense with violent acts that are, perhaps above all else, a manifestation of the era's anxieties' * Independent * 'Vyleta's story of a crime in Vienna during the early days of World War Two makes him the heir to the throne left empty since the death of Graham Greene. Yes, he's that damn good' * San Francisco Chronicle *

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A tale of political paranoia, dangerous liaisons and defiant compassion, The Quiet Twin is an unforgettable journey into a cityscape of totalitarian dread and deceptionThe Quiet Twin reveals Vyleta to be a magical storyteller, a master of the macabre and a writer who illuminates the noir with a new darkness . Vyleta creates a vivid Viennese waltz that explores the darkness of his chosen period in a way that both thrills and disturbs' David ParkVienna, 1939. Professor Speckstein's dog has been brutally killed and he wants to know why. But these are uncharitable times and one must be careful where one probes.When an unexpected house call leads Doctor Beer to Speckstein's apartment, he finds himself in the bedroom of Zuzka, the professor's niece. Wide-eyed, flirtatious, and not detectably ill, Zuzka leads the young doctor to her window and opens up a view of their apartment block that Beer has never known. Across the shared courtyard there is nine-year-old Anneliese, the lonely daughter of an alcoholic. Five windows to the left lives a secretive mime who comes home late at night and keeps something - or someone - precious hidden from view. From the garret drifts the mournful sound of an Oriental's trumpet, and a basement door swings closed behind the building's inscrutable janitor.Does one of these enigmatic neighbours have blood on their hands?Doctor Beer, who has his own reasons for keeping his private life hidden from public scrutiny, reluctantly becomes embroiled in an enquiry that forces him to face the dark realities of Nazi rule. A tale ofpolitical paranoia, dangerous liaisons and defiant compassion, The QuietTwin is an unforgettable journey into a cityscape of totalitarian dread anddeception Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
