Paganini’s Ghost
This is the second book in the murder-mystery series about Cremona violin maker, Gianni Castiglione, and his detective friend, Antonio Guastafeste.
In Paganini’s Ghost, Gianni and Antonio return to investigate more mysterious deaths in a tantalising story of love, deception and greed. If you enjoyed their earlier adventure, you will be delighted by this new tale.
A dazzling young Russian virtuoso performs a sell-out recital on Paganini’s violin in the cathedral in Cremona. Then one of the audience, a shady Parisian dealer, is found dead in his hotel room, a fragment of music belonging to the virtuoso hidden in his wallet. But how did the dead man get hold of it? And why?
Following a trail that leads back to Paganini, his lover Elisa Bonaparte (Napoleon’s sister), Catherine the Great and a long-lost priceless treasure, Gianni and Antonio must unravel another mystery that has gone unanswered for over a century, one that may hold the answer to the modern-day murder.
