Are you sure someone tried to kill him? I doubt it; who kills someone with books?
In the morning, it seems I might have been too hasty about Kyle. Perhaps it's just a radio operator.
Regarding the clue about the city, I highly doubt it will refer to a specific city. I would rather look for something like cityhall, townhall, or some bla-bla-city – in general, something with the root "city."

Барон "Vampires"
Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
