This November, we’ll be diving into The Dark Maestro by bestselling author Brendan Slocumb, known for his masterful storytelling that blends music, mystery, and human emotion.
About the Book
The Dark Maestro follows Curtis Wilson, a gifted cellist whose extraordinary talent propels him from a tough upbringing in Washington, D.C., to the heights of the classical music world. Just as he begins to make his mark, his life takes a shocking turn when his father becomes entangled in a dangerous criminal scheme, forcing the family into witness protection.
As Curtis struggles to rebuild his life under a new identity, he’s torn between the safety of anonymity and the call of his true passion—music. Slocumb’s writing brings to life the tension between art and survival, identity and reinvention, and the question of whether we can ever truly escape our past.
