The book that's got classical music lovers raving! Melody Cavatina, the Boston Symphony Orchestra's new and amazingly talented cellist, is scheduled to premiere a finger-cracking solo in Rio in conjunction of the signing of a controversial trade agreement. It's her first ever solo, and she's traumatized, barely able to play normally let alone in front of a hall of world leaders. As the orchestra heads to the airport, their priceless instruments are hijacked. The earthy police Lieutenant Lowell is called to find the truckload of instruments. Most people suspect a populist group trying to stop the trade agreement. Lowell narrows the list of suspects, which includes Melody. She must conquer her psychological shock and clear her name. She must get to Rio and dedicate her performance to a person she had wronged. She must use her perfect pitch and sensitivity to sound to find the thieves. Told with a focus on music, irreverent and witty, THE SYMPHONY HEIST is a feel-good mystery, fun and informative. Lowell is one of the most delightful characters in literature. Anyone who likes to solve a mystery or enjoys music will fall in love with this book.

The Symphony Heist follows The Museum Heist, a series of upbeat Boston-based mysteries celebrating art and music. He is a dancer, amateur astronomer, spiritual seeker, social activist, athlete, and world traveler who toured the globe by bicycle. He is also a resident in Sardinia, Italy, where he can be heard serenading the sheep near his property on his highland bagpipe.
