Murder in E-Flat

The world of classical music, incriminating fingerprints, and a federal justice system gone wrong ensnare Thomas Martindale in one of the most difficult situations of his professional life. 



In a story that takes the college professor/amateur sleuth from the scene of a terror attack on the Yaquina Bay Bridge on the Oregon coast to New York and back to a secret terrorist camp near Drift Creek Falls in the Coast Range, Murder in E-flat Major also describes Tom's life as an author and the often hilarious world of meeting the public on book tours. 



As in the past, this quest occurs when he tries to help a friend, a cellist in the local symphony orchestra. "I have heard that death can come in many different ways," she tells him, "but never by cello."
