Brendan Slocumb puts his knowledge of music to good use in this mystery that flips between the early 20th century and today. An African American music professor and expert on America's premier composer of his day, Frederic Delaney, is contacted by the maestro's foundation to work on a long lost composition, recently found. But all is not as it seems, and that professor and a sharp computer-savvy friend begin to investigate. They soon uncover another name connected to Delaney in the 1920s, one Josephine Reed. But what was her connection to the composer? Whatever it was, the foundation, run by descendants, would rather not have the truth exposed.

It is a general plot that has been used many times, but Slocumb's musical background and his character of Josephine help this book stand out.
