Books, Manuscripts
On a snowy January morning in 1889, in a remote hunting lodge deep in the Vienna woods, Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria-Hungary appeared to have shot his seventeen-year-old mistress Baroness Mary Vetsera as she slept, then turned the pistol on himself. What happened in that locked room remains one of history's most evocotive mysteries: What led Rudolf and his mistress to this desperate act? Was it really a suicide pact? Or did something far more disturbing take place at that remote hunting lodge and result in murder?
