The Interpretation of Murder: Jed Rubenfeld

When a wealthy young debutante is found bound, whipped and strangled in a luxurious appartment in the city, and another narrowly escapes the same fate, the Mayor of New York calls upon Sigmund Freud to use his revolutionary new ideas to help her recover her memory of the attack and solve the crime. But nothing is as it seems and there are those in high places determined to stop the truth coming out and also stop Freud's startling theories taking root in America. A very atmospheric story which melds fact and fiction seamlessly together.
