"An old friend summons Catherine Lockhart and Liam Taggart to his popular Chicago restaurant to enlist their help. A powerful corporation is evicting his aunt Gabi from the Tuscan villa where she has lived all her life. To assist them, Gabi sends Catherine and Liam a leather-bound manuscript written by Ada Baumgarten many years ago. Hidden in its pages is a story long suppressed...Ada is the daughter of the first violinist and concertmaster of the prestigious Berlin Philharmonic, and a gifted violinist in her own right. Her opportunities would seem to be boundless, but she is a Jewish girl in Berlin in the 1930s, As the tides of history turn and Ada and her family become a target, it is Ada's extraordinary talent that carries them from one perilous situation to another. What becomes of Ada? How could Ada's story contain the key to saving Gabi's villa? As Catherine and Liam dig through the layers of lies and corruption, an unfinished story of heart, redemption, and hope is revealed--the ending of which is yet to be written" -- Page [4] cover.
