Description

Amid the glamour and sparkle of judge and audio life in 18th-century Vienna, fifteen-year-old Theresa Karen Shurman is attempting to resolve a raw secret. Who murdered her dad, an acclaimed violinist, and took his useful Amati cello? Haydn herself offers her a situation as his helper when, it provides Theresa use of existence within the palace–and into a world of deceit. Theresa reveals extortion and blackmail even while she finds recognition and bravery in unexpected locations: from the Gypsy camp on the banks of the Danube, to the rarefied existence of the imperial household.
