I almost always prefer Australian cover art to the US ones - the latter doesn't do justice to the tone of the book. The Australian cover for this book is more representative of the atmospheric style of the book, set in 1909 when Dr Freud & Dr Jung visit New York. It weaves a murder of a young socialite in with psychological intricacies during a time when psychology was new and viewed with awe and suspicion. It's very well written and I thoroughly enjoyed the literary and philosophical style and the historical detail.
