Description
Recuperating from illness in Chelsea - in 1764, a rural spot - Robert Fairfax expects to be bored. But a chance meeting leads to his involvement with the Mozarts of Salzburg, whose young son is the musical prodigy creating a stir throughout their tour of Europe. The boy is an uncomprehending but vital witness to the events surrounding the death of Gabriel Chilcott, a wealthy and ill-tempered music-lover. His pretty young wife has secrets she does not care to divulge, and the mystery deepens show more with the horrific discovery of a girl's murdered body. Fairfax's investigation leads him to a puzzle that seems beyond his powers to solve - unless he can garner a crucial clue from the remarkable little boy whom the world will know as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart... show lessTags
