Book excerpt: Mark this sheet music contorto e mortale.*War heroine and crime solver Cecilia "Ace" Carroway specializes in cheating death, but she's never encountered a musical instrument with murderous tendencies before. Violinist P. Charles Derkin is the latest owner of the deadly violin, and he's a nervous wreck. The instrument is accompanied by nightly noises and ghostly lights, and he just discovered that the violin's two previous owners each died in horrific "accidents."Moments after Ace takes the case, Derkin narrowly escapes death by falling masonry. The danger is real enough, but who or what could be putting Charles Derkin in peril? Is it mysterious paranormal forces? Is it diminutive Filbert Monocles, director of the organization that provides security for the violin? Is it Isabella Rosavino, the vivacious Italian photographer? As Ace and her dashing associates gather clues, a disturbing fourth possibility rises like a ghostly shadow. Her old nemesis Darko Dor and his international network of criminals may desire the violin for their own nefarious ends. A few dead violinists mean nothing to the fiend whose thirst for power has already killed thousands, including Ace's father.When Derkin and his violin are kidnapped, Ace will need all of her wits, her danger-loving partners, and an airship to have a hope of saving him in time to thwart her arch enemy.This book contains: An Irishman's blarney.
