While investigating the death of his lover's brother, Ben Hope returns for a race around Europe as he uncovers clues and secrets suggesting the murder of eighteenth-century composer Mozart in this suspenseful thriller by international bestselling author Scott Mariani.
When former British Special Air Service officer Ben Hope is enlisted by his first love, the beautiful singer Leigh Llewellyn, to investigate her brother Oliver's death, their search leads to a blood-soaked puzzle dating back to the eighteenth-century and the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The famous composer was a noted Freemason and evidence suggests it was possible he was killed by a shadowy splinter group of the organization.

The official report states that Oliver died in a tragic accident, but the day he died, he sent Leigh all the files concerning an unfinished book on Mozart. As Ben and Leigh piece together Oliver's research, they receive a missing letter written by the composer himself that indicates both men's deaths could have been murder.

From Oxford's dreamy spires to Venice's labyrinthine canals and Vienna's majestic palaces, Ben and Leigh must race across Europe to uncover the truth behind the Mozart conspiracy.

      British author Miriani makes his U.S. debut with the second in his series featuring ex-SAS warrior Ben Hope, a fast, exciting read in The Da Vinci Code tradition. Ben is on his way home from a mission when he receives a message from Leigh Llewellyn, an old flame and international opera star, saying she needs his help. Leigh is the sister of Ben's late friend, Oliver, who was at work on a book on Mozart when he died under mysterious circumstances. When Ben takes Leigh to the English countryside to guard her, deadly thugs attempt to kill them both. A lost Mozart letter, written in 1791 shortly before the composer's death and first discovered by Leigh's father, implicates a shadowy European group known as the Order of Ra, which remains a powerful secret force in Europe today. None of this matters much to either Ben or the reader as he singlehandedly kills his way to the top of the evil cabal.

      World-famous Welsh opera singer Leigh Llewellyn seeks help from her ex-flame, Ben, to investigate the suspicious death of her brother, who was writing a book about the death of Mozart. After Leigh decides to complete the book, she herself becomes a target, and the listener follows the duo as they seek answers. Narrator Steven Crossley softens his tone and uses an authentic-sounding Welsh accent to voice Leigh's dialogue, while keeping the fast-paced exchanges between her and Ben easy to follow. Crossley's narration is perfectly timed, with Crossley refraining from racing through even the most suspenseful parts. K.J.P. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
