The Lost Stradivarius

by John Meade Falkner

A cursed violin passes from owner to owner, and each one discovers rather too late that a truly beautiful instrument does not necessarily wish its player well. Falkner wrote only a handful of novels in his lifetime, and this quiet one has slowly outlasted louder books from more prolific contemporaries. I keep it away from the actual music room, out of an abundance of caution.
