Bern Hendricks is a university professor who has dedicated his life to the works of a famous composer and has become an expert hired by the Delaney Foundation to authenticate and prepare for performance a newly discovered piece of music. In order to meet the deadline, Bern enlists the help of his old friend and computer genius Eboni.
Together they begin work on the project, but soon make some shocking discoveries and uncover some secrets. Their investigation is discovered and the two find themselves in the crosshairs of a powerful organisation that will stop at nothing to keep the truth hidden–Fred Delaney may have had help from a silent partner with his composition, yet taken all the credit. The real composer’s brilliance was never acknowledged. Bern and Eboni will have to fight hard to right history’s wrongs.
This second page-turner from musician and music teacher (and now author) Brendan Slocumb, was just as good as the first, although if I had to choose, The Violin Conspiracy is still my favourite of the two.
I really appreciate how Slocumb brings some important issues of Black experience in the music industry to the fore in both books. His novels are important, as well as being engaging and fun to read.

Thank you Joanne. This Slocum book did not disappoint! Also extremely engaging and interesting and as you have said – he continues to highlight issues of the black experience in North America. The mystery also provided excellent suspense with lots of surprising twists and turns. I look forward to reading another one of his books.
