Описание: When an enemy makes overtures of friendship, is anyone safe?
An unexpected invitation from wily King Frederick causes composer Joseph Haydn to fear hes walking into a trap. After all, the Prussian King has never had any use for Haydns music. His Majesty seems more intrigued at Haydns being the son of a market-judge.
Worse still, the invitation appears to stir up suspicion in the highest quarters in Vienna. So much so that a mysterious, cloaked lady visits Haydns Music Room and issues a thinly veiled threat.
Now Haydn is convinced theres mischief afoot. But not even he can foresee that he will stumble upon the corpse of the imperial ambassador a day after his arrival in Fredericks Prussia, along with evidence that His Lordship may have been a common thief.
Can Haydn salvage the imperial ambassadors reputation--and find his killer?
