The Interpretation of Murder is an inventive tour de force inspired by Sigmund Freud's 1909 visit to America, accompanied by prot?g? & rival Carl Jung. When a wealthy young debutante is discovered bound, whipped & strangled in a luxurious apartment overlooking the city, & another society beauty narrowly escapes the same fate, the mayor of New York calls upon Freud to use his revolutionary new ideas to help the surviving victim recover her memory of the attack, & solve the crime. But nothing about the attacks
- or about the surviving victim, Nora
- is quite as it seems. & there are those in very high places determined to stop the truth coming out, & Freud's startling theories taking root on American soil.
