Black Danube by Nik Grybaski

How do you save a woman who’s confessed to murder when you know she didn’t do it?

In the ghettos of Vienna in 1899, a young man lies dead, his fiancée arrested. But crime photographer Leo Katz’s images prove she is innocent.

When corrupt police officers hide the evidence, Leo vows to bring the killers to justice. Even if it risks revealing he is in disguise and on the run.

With the help of his pathologist friend, Doctor Rosenbloom, and his assistant Lucy Strauss, Leo infiltrates a nefarious network of vice controlled by fraudulent government officials.

As Leo and his companions delve deeper into the sordid world of depravity hidden behind the city’s elegant facades, he discovers the gruesome death is a smokescreen for more heinous crimes.

Now Leo must bring the murderers to justice before he becomes their next victim.
