Significantly scarred and unable to play, she has turned away from everything and everyone associated with music, especially her ruthless mentor Madame, whom Clara blames for her injuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHer life is upended when Madame dies, leaving Clara an unexpected inheritance: an ornate nineteenth-century metronome with a cryptic message hidden inside. Convinced this is not a gift but a puzzle Madame wants her to solve, Clara comes to suspect that the unusual bequest is the long-lost metronome of the composer Aleksander Starza—a priceless object missing since 1885, when Starza was murdered by the brilliant female pianist Constantia Pleyel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Clara works to uncover the metronome's haunted past and protect it—and herself—from those who wish to obtain it, she discovers that nothing about Starza and his murder is what it seems. History has remembered Constantia Pleyel as an unstable artist who killed Starza in a fit of madness. The truth could rewrite the history of music and give Clara the second chance she has been longing for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis moving tale is perfect for fans of Brendan Slocumb's \u003ci\u003eThe Violin Conspiracy\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47371513561324,"sku":"9781454956822","price":65.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/220483482706.jpg?v=1773227369"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sarah-landenwich.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
