When Detective Inspector John Jago is called to a house in London's Bloomsbury, he finds the body of a woman who's been attacked and left to die, her only crime seemingly being her kindness to strangers.

As Jago tries to find out who killed her and why, he uncovers a tangle of damaged hearts and minds. There may have been envy, resentment, even outright hostility. But who would want to strike down an angel of mercy in her own home, and what is the deadly secret that has followed her halfway across the world?

  The Flynn Guarneri

  The Guarneri, a violin rarer than a Stradivarius, belonged to the charismatic Irish virtuoso Robert Flynn. Famed for his performances of the classical repertoire, including the early works of Ernest Grayson, Flynn wandered the countryside anonymously, playing in villages and collecting folk tunes before he died young during World War I. 
  Ernest Grayson, arguably the greatest British composer of the twentieth century, suffered a crisis of imagination in 1908 and spent time in a sanatorium in Zurich, where he was treated with the latest European therapies and returned to composing, creating his master works during the 1930s before committing suicide amid the chaos of World War II. 
  In the early 1990s, the teenaged American prodigy Allegra Balsen is about to perform Ernest Grayson’s first violin concerto on the Flynn Guarneri at Lincoln Center, when her best friend, a young cellist, is murdered backstage. Allegra goes on defiantly, to commemorate her friend and to honor the retiring concert mistress, violinist Moira Flynn. 
  Two Princeton musicologists attend the performance. They are studying Grayson’s work. As they delve into his musical scores, letters, photographs and other papers, they begin to untangle complicated love and family relations among Flynn, Grayson and descendants, coming closer and closer to the murderer, who is still at large and seeking another victim. 
  A brainy and haunting romance of the twentieth century—musical genius, madness, and love seen through the acute, empathetic eyes of academic detective Dr. Lucy Wunder as she, too, is pulled into the web.

  🧵 Weaver and textile studio owner Wanda Warp is preparing for the prestigious Fiber Arts Gala when the event's major sponsor—a ruthless textile manufacturer—is found dead in her studio, crushed beneath her massive floor loom. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Wanda notices the warp threads have been deliberately cut and the victim's fabric samples contain hidden messages woven into the pattern. With her studio shut down and the weaving community in disarray, Wanda must thread her way through a complex investigation. Assisted by her weaving guild and the handsome textile engineer analyzing fiber stress points, Wanda uncovers a scheme involving industrial espionage, stolen weaving patterns, and sabotage of traditional looms. From suspicious tension inconsistencies that reveal tampering to fiber blends that don't match production records, every thread in the warp and weft tells a story. But when Wanda discovers the victim was systematically putting traditional weavers out of business to steal their patterns for mass production, she realizes the killer is protecting a craft heritage more valuable than any factory output. With the gala approaching and the real saboteur still operating, Wanda must weave together the truth before her own loom falls silent forever.
