Sheet Music
by M. J. Rose

Grief-stricken Justine Pagett fled to Paris after her mother's death, but scandal forces her back to the States to redeem her tarnished reputation as a journalist. Commissioned to write a piece on the eccentric classical composer Sophie DeLyon, Justine finds herself part of a mysterious deception and a temptation she cannot give into.

An expertly crafted opus of obsessive passions and poisonous shame, of brilliant achievements and brutal deception, Sheet Music confirms M. J. Rose's place at the forefront of today's top psychological suspense writers.
