A brutal killing takes place in a Vienna park in 1910, and the wife of the inspector assigned to the case decides that the key to the murderer involves the figs the victim ate shortly before her death--because fresh figs are not available in Vienna. Jody Shields thoroughly researched detection techniques from the period, as well as the food and cuisine of Vienna, to produce a literary mystery that spins off from Freud`s famous case of Dora, the depressed and misunderstood young woman involved in a psychological battle of wills with her father.
