From the bestselling author of Above the Fire, Concert Black chronicles a biographer and the famous conductor who will stop at nothing to keep her from exposing his secrets.

Biographer Ellen Wroe approaches the eminent conductor Cecil Woodbridge with a proposal to tell his life story. Despite her reputation as a serious author with a shelf of prizewinning books, he rejects the idea and then actively tries to stop her work. As Wroe pursues Woodbridge—maestro, cellist, conductor-king—she discovers that beneath his mighty façade and towering ego lie a dark history and a troubling connection to her own past.

Written in the tradition of Ian McEwan’s Atonement, Michael Ondaatje’s Warlight, and Julian Barnes’s The Noise of Time, Concert Black takes listeners from the modern symphony halls of Boston and Chicago to the frozen streets of postwar London. As subject and biographer veer toward a collision, both must confront the price of ambition and the cost of art.
