Mozarts letzte Arie

Vienna 1791. Six weeks ago, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart expressed his suspicion of being poisoned. Now, on December 5th, he is dead, diagnosed with "fiery marsh fever." Almost forty years later, his sister Nannerl presents her nephew Franz Xaver, Mozart's son, with the diary of a trip to Vienna shortly after Mozart's death. It tells the story of her quest for the truth, leading her into the salons of the Viennese high nobility, secret lodges, concert halls, palaces, and opera houses, confronting her with the plots of Austrian and Prussian intelligence services. At the center is Mozart's last opera, The Magic Flute, which may hold the key to the mystery surrounding Mozart's death. A thrillingly written, atmospherically dense crime story about crime, truth and lies, longing, and the eternal bond of sibling love.
