Aus für Strauss by Thomas Brezina

The crime thriller for Johann Strauss’ 200th anniversary: A Strauss researcher’s assistant disappears without trace after the last New Year’s concert. In 1878, Strauss is visited by a man who claims to be an illegitimate son of his recently deceased wife Jetty and wants Johann to buy him off. Strauss refuses and soon his concert-goers start coming to a grisly end. Is he in danger too? Brezina’s intriguing blend of fact and fiction links the Austrian empire with modern-day Vienna.

In summer 2025, a reading with Thomas Brezina will take place in cooperation with Thalia, edition av and Johann Strauss 2025 Vienna.
