An ex-SAS officer uncovers a centuries-old mystery when investigating an author’s death in this “fast, exciting” thriller (Publishers Weekly).

When former operative Ben Hope is enlisted by his first love, the beautiful singer Leigh Llewellyn, to investigate her brother’s death, their search leads to the blood-soaked puzzle dating back to the eighteenth century: the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The famous composer was a noted Freemason. Was he killed by a shadowy splinter group of the organization?

The official report states that Leigh’s brother Oliver died in a tragic accident, but the day he died, he sent Leigh all the files concerning his unfinished book on Mozart. As Ben and Leigh piece together Oliver’s research, they discover evidence pointing to a missing letter written by the composer himself, one indicating that both men’s deaths could have been murder. And after they receive a frightening video showing a ritual sacrifice performed by hooded men, they realize it proves the centuries-old existence of a deadly sect. From Oxford’s dreamy spires to Venice’s labyrinthine canals to Vienna’s majestic palaces, Ben and Leigh must race across Europe to uncover the truth behind . . . the Mozart Conspiracy.
