Description

A Viennese inspector, Alexander Von Purzeus, is sent to investigate a series of frenzied killings amid utter savagery.

Only then will his beloved sister and, surely, victim of one of his own sordid suprasensual parties, be defrosted from her cryogenic state.

‘This is a novel unlike anything else you’ve read. It will keep you absorbed in the machinations of the characters and fantastic details of life in the strange town and beyond. 

The bizarre people and customs, their beliefs, and desires, the evolution of life itself, make up a visceral, yet intellectual ride you’ll savor.’

Janet Ruth


‘I remain amazed, if not downright exhilarated, at the range and quality of this writing project….

Shifting from hip, contemporary British fiction with a dash of magic realism in the first book to, in effect, gothic steampunk in the second, and then back to the original novel, but now with much more overtly sci-fi and apocalyptic genre markers is quite brilliant… pure gold.’

Dr Stephen Carver, author of Shark Alley

Featured Reviews

This book was well written and very fun to read. The characters were great and I enjoyed the world building. The author does a great job at introducing the characters and moving the plot along. There were a few things that I didn't like, but it wasn't enough to really sway me one way or the other. It's definitely a story that I can get lost in and both feel for the characters. It is definitely a go-to novel that I highly recommend to anyone who loves a great read. Definitely a highly recommended read that I think everyone will enjoy.
