A famous composer’s post-WWII homecoming is marred by death threats
in a gripping tale of suspense from the Edgar Award–winning creator
of Brother Cadfael. Three decades ago, a teenaged Lucas Cornith
joined the Austrian Resistance, helping to lead escapees from German
oppression across the Alps to Switzerland and safety. But when
Hitler’s storm troopers got too close, Lucas fled his homeland,
leaving his compatriots behind to face the Nazi’s wrath. Many
years later, Cornith is returning to his hometown for the first time
since the war’s end. Now a world-renowned classical composer, he’s
premiering a new musical work, The Horn of Roland, at a festival in
Gries-am-See, the tiny Alpine village of his birth. But not
everyone wants to welcome him home with open arms. Someone here
refuses to forgive and will never forget the past. And unless Cornith
can unmask his mystery antagonist in time, the premier of his new
composition might well be the composer’s swan song. The Edgar,
Agatha, and Gold Dagger Award–winning author of the Brother Cadfael
medieval mysteries and “beguiling writer” perfectly blends
intrigue and suspense in this novel of a man haunted by his past (The
Daily Telegraph).
