Description
A Concerted Effort by Matthew Halligan is a darkly comedic tale of music, madness and mayhem. A washed-up journalist and struggling musician, he recounts his journey from brain to page to stage, involving sex, violence, and preposterous conductors. Halligan's story takes a sinister turn as he navigates the cutthroat world of classical music, where one particularly troublesome conductor pushes him to the edge. With its unique blend of jazz, woodwind passages, prison choirs, and murder, this novel is not for the faint of heart. Warning: if you have romantic notions about musicians, be prepared for a reality check. This book is a wild ride that will leave you questioning everything.
