Join concert pianist Arthur Singer, 30, in his 18th season on tour, as he spends a week at Wisconsin University at Black Falls. Encounter with him, not a routine college visit, but a panoply of characters old and young, a passionate romance sparked by music, and a crime that only a musician could solve.

James Boyk inducts the reader into the mind of the performer and the heart of the teacher-student relationship; and reveals how the soul of an artist, cradled by music, may be torn apart by the tensions of a career.

For lovers of music and mystery, for those fascinated by the complexities of human characters and the intricacies of detective stories, this book offers a unique blend, in language unexpected, precise, and transparent, and with music penetrating the entire fabric of the story.
