Tim A Mills: The Day the Whimsy Died, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Some mysteries can only be solved in the key of truth.

It's been three months since Dekker Kohl, Trovatore for the Columbus Conservatory, wrote a note worth keeping. He calls it a dry spell. He doesn't yet know it's a symptom.

The signs are everywhere. Singers losing their pitch mid-phrase. Composers staring at pages that won't fill. Jazz clubs locked in a minor key they can't escape. Something is draining the city of its creative soul. And it's leaving bodies behind.

When a fellow musician is found strangled with a violin string, Dekker is the only one who can hear the harmonic echoes left at the scene. But the investigation pulls him into a conspiracy older and stranger than murder: the systematic destruction of Whimsy itself.

With a six-legged witness as his only lead and his own magic failing, Dekker must decode a final, impossible composition before the music stops for good.

Because the world won't end without Whimsy. It'll just stop being worth living in.
