User:Softlavender/The Devil's Lieutenant

The Devil's Lieutenant is a historically based mystery novel by M. Fagyas, published in 1970. The plot takes place in Vienna in 1909, and recounts the murder by cyanide of a captain in the Austro-Hungarian Army, the search for a suspect, and the implications for the army when a possible suspect is settled upon, slowly investigated, and questioned.

Reception
The Devil's Lieutenant received two very favorable reviews in the New York Times. W. G. Rogers wrote that Fagyas had "packed her novel with strain, tension, suspense – and, to boot, a wealth of political and historical relevance." Thomas Lask called the book "a top-drawer psychological thriller that unrolls like a whodunit, so artfully constructed, so smoothly readable that you will find yourself devouring it at a single sitting."

The book was translated into several languages, including German, French, Italian.
