It's entitled
Damaging Winds: Rumours that Salieri Murdered Mozart Swirl in the Vienna of Beethoven and Schubert. It's 279 pages in length. It's available in the pdf format. It appears that the book is self-published (but it's very well done!).
It's not at Amazon and it's not at GoodReads; so, I have no ratings or reviews to tell you about. And that's the reason that I wanted to see if one or more of you would be interested in vetting it.
Here's a blurb, from the back of the book:
Here he [the author, G] brings both his legal skills and his historical acumen to bear on the allegations that Antonio Salieri murdered his rival Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. But this is not a dry academic work but a compelling story of a young early 19th century woman's quest to discover the truth behind the Salieri rumours, a quest that brings her into conflict with those whom she loves. During her investigation she learns much about relationships and herself.
The author, C. Ian Kyer, has written quite a few non-fiction titles. But this appears to be his very first novel. It seems that he is quite an accomplished person:
C. Ian Kyer is a distinguished lawyer, historian, and author. For more than thirty years he practised law with the Faskens law firm, where he led the Technology and Intellectual Property Group. Ranked as one of Canada’s top 500 lawyers, he has advised both private sector parties and federal, provincial, and municipal governments on numerous projects, including public-private partnerships. He has often been praised for his even-handed approach and his ability to bring parties together. But Ian was an historian before he became a lawyer (with a PhD in Medieval ecclesiastical history), and on his retirement from the Faskens partnership, he has returned to history. He has written a history of the Faskens firm, an historical novel about Salieri and his relationship to Mozart, and numerous short biographies for the Dictionary of Canadian Biography.

The ebook is posted on the website of Canada's National Arts Centre (Centre National Des Arts). I think that it was posted in conjunction with a podcast or radio interview or something about Mr. Kyer and/or his book (if you're interested in finding out more about this, you can follow the links given
here). So, I have every reason to believe that this is a legal
free download.
