Ian Kyer is a noted lawyer and historian. Here he brings both his legal skills and his historical acumen to bear on the allegations that Antonio Salieri murdered his rival Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. But this is not a dry academic work but a compelling story of a young early 19th century woman’s quest to discover the truth behind the Salieri rumours, a quest that brings her into conflict with those whom she loves. During her investigation she learns much about relationships and herself.
