Set in Vienna just before WW I and then in London, France and Geneva during that war, this book is full of period atmosphere as the protagonist, Lysander, gets caught up in espionage with all its subterfuge. Personal dramas begin and run parallel to the main thriller aspect of the story with a side helping of psychiatry - it being Vienna. A page-turner and intriguing but I was uncertain about some of the characters.
