Description
The Devil's Harmony by Sarah Rayne In the aftermath of World War II, a devastating atrocity was uncovered in Warsaw. A scrapbook, rescued from the site of the historic Chopin Library, holds the key to understanding the events of that fateful night. Music researcher Phineas Fox is tasked with verifying the contents of the scrapbook, which reveals a dark connection between the Library and an infamous piece of music known as the Dark Cadence. Legend has it that the Dark Cadence was only performed at a traitor's execution, and it has never been written down. The connection between this piece of music and a tragic event in Russia in 1918 is shrouded in mystery. As Phineas delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a complex web of events that threaten to upend his understanding of the past. The repercussions of this dark history are still felt today, and Phineas's investigation raises more questions than answers. What happened on that terrible night in October 1944? And what does it have to do with the present?
