Playing with Fire

<b>Tess Gerritsen, the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Rizzoli & Isles series, now gives us a gripping stand-alone thriller.</b><br>  <br> In a shadowy antiques shop in Rome, Julia Ansdell happens upon a curious piece of music€"the <i>Incendio</i> waltz€"and is immediately entranced by its unusual composition. The mournful minor key and complex feverish arpeggios appear to dance with a strange life of their own. Back in Boston, when Julia plays the notes for the first time, the music has a terrifying and unexplainable effect on her young daughter, who seems violently transformed. Determined to track down the music score€s origins, Julia travels to Venice€"and uncovers a dark secret that not only dates back to the Second World War, but also directly involves a dangerously powerful family who will stop at nothing to keep Julia from bringing the truth to light.
