- A Good Morning America GMA Book Club Pick! - A riveting page-turner about a Black classical musician`s desperate quest to recover his lost violin on the eve of the most prestigious musical competition in the world `[A] galvanizing blend of thriller, coming-of-age drama, and probing portrait of racism ... This flawless debut will do for classical music what The Queen`s Gambit did for chess.` --Booklist Growing up Black in rural North Carolina, Ray McMillian`s life is already mapped out. If he`s lucky, he`ll get a job at the hospital cafeteria. If he`s extra lucky, he`ll earn more than minimum wage. But Ray has a gift and a dream--he`s determined to become a world-class professional violinist, and nothing will stand in his way. Not his mother, who wants him to stop making such a racket; not the fact that he can`t afford a violin suitable to his talents; not even the racism inherent in the world of classical music. When he discovers that his great-great-grandfather`s beat-up old fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius, all his dreams suddenly seem within reach. Together, Ray and his violin take the world by storm. But on the eve of the renowned and cutthroat Tchaikovsky Competition--the Olympics of classical music--the violin is stolen, a ransom note for five million dollars left in its place. Ray will have to piece together the clues to recover his treasured Strad ... before it`s too late. With the descendants of the man who once enslaved Ray`s great-great-grandfather asserting that the instrument is rightfully theirs, and with his family staking their own claim, Ray doesn`t know who he can trust--or whether he will ever see his beloved violin again.
