Prague Counterpoint (1989) is the second novel of Bodie and Brock Thoene's Zion Covenant Series, the immediate successor of Vienna Prelude and predecessor to Munich Signature. Walter Kronenberger, a devoutly-Catholic German journalist opposed to Hitler had fled to Vienna with his twin sons Charles (who has a cleft-palate and harelip) and Louis somewhat prior to the Anschluss. As he hears the sounds of Wermacht vehicles in his shabby hotel room, he contemplates suicide and loads his pistol. Before leaving the hotel, he tells his two sons to hide in the Vienna Philharmonic's symphony hall and to ask for Aunt Leah. Vienna Philharmonic's cellist Leah Goldblatt (a close friend of Elisa Lindheim) marries percussionist Shimon Feldstein shortly prior to the Anschluss. Afterwards, Austrian Nazis rampage through Vienna's Jewish neighbourhood, smashing windows and arresting many Jewish men (including Shimon); Leah, who is outside at the time of the rampage, is warned by the leader Otto Wattenburger to hide out-which she does at the Philharmonic's symphony hall.
