The criminal novel by contemporary Austrian bestseller author Andreas Pittler Hork July 1927 is the third of the series of Viennese crimes. The first novel cycle, 1913: The case of strange suicide, begins with a seemingly banal suicide of an insignificant Austrian soldier, but gradually grows in case of much more serious dimensions. In the second book entitled 1918: The murder at the end of the war investigates a peculiar Bronstein detective two cases: the murder of a young woman and the disappearance of General, who was his commander on the battlefields of the First World War. In the novel Horký July 1927 Bronstein is investigating the murder of unpopular merchant Guschlbauer, in whose grocery, young and beautiful saleswomen often alternate suspiciously. At the same time, he monitors the so -called Schatendorf incident, in which a forty -year -old assistant worker and an eight -year -old boy were killed in January of the same year. The perpetrators were liberated, which led to riots, culminating in the burning of the Viennese Judicial Palace. At the end of the book again appears a beautiful revolutionary Jelka and helps Bronstein solve the case in a very unusual way.
The mountain July 1927, unlike the previous two books, is not only playing in Vienna, but also in Semmering, a charming holiday landscape in the foothills of the Alps, and in the Hornoracoun countryside. As in them, it combines the capture of contemporary police work and crime investigations with the description of the period atmosphere and the depiction of everyday life of ordinary people.
