An absolutely gripping true-crime thriller. By day he ran the royal confectioners. By night, a den of debauchery where he extracted the weaknesses of powerful men. In Austria, his blackmail box protected him while he defrauded an insurer of $20million. His success made him a mass murderer.Killer Desserts is based on a bewildering true story that changed a nation. An extraordinary tale of greed, power, perfect-pastries layered on top of Viennese decadence that no one could invent: the story of a guy who could overcome any problem- until his ship went down. Recommended for fans of The Wolf of Wall Street and Catch Me If You Can.
