Riassunto

The world of classical music, incriminating fingerprints, and a federal justice system gone wrong ensnare Thomas Martindale in one of the most difficult situations of his professional life. In a story that takes the college professor/amateur sleuth from the scene of a terror attack on the Yaquina Bay Bridge on the Oregon coast to New York and back to a secret terrorist camp near Drift Creek Falls in the Coast Range, Murder in E-flat Major also describes Tom’s life as an author and the often hilarious world of meeting the public on book tours. As in the past, this quest occurs when he tries to help a friend, a cellist in the local symphony orchestra. “I have heard that death can come in many different ways,” she tells him, “but never by cello.”

L'autore:

Ron Lovell was a journalism professor at Oregon State University for 24 years. Before that he was a magazine writer with Business Week in Denver, Medical World News in New York and the McGraw-Hill News Service in Los Angeles and Houston. He is the author of 14 textbooks on journalism and hundreds of articles. He now writes mystery novels about Thomas Martindale, a college professor who solves crimes on the side. The books take place either on the Oregon Coast or on a campus that strongly resembles OSU. Titles in the series: Murder at Yaquina Head, Dead Whales Tell No Tales, Lights, Camera, Murder, Murder Below Zero, Searching for Murder, Descent Into Madness, Yaquina White, Murder in E-flat Major, Murder in the Steens, and Murder Times Two.Last year, he began publishing a new series, the Lorenzo Madrid Mysteries, about a Mexican attorney who specializes in immigration law in Oregon. The first book, Danger in Unlikely Places, features Lorenzo Madrid. In it, he escapes a murderous drug gang by moving to Los Angeles to teach at the UCLA Law School. The latest book, A Dangerous Assignment, starts in Hollywood and ends in an abandoned insane asylum on the Oregon Coast, where a sleazy producer talks him into producing a low budget movie. There he has to cope with a temperamental movie queen, her drunken stuntman husband, a self-styled local “militia,” and a murder. More than he bargained for and a truly dangerous assignment. “I can’t imagine living in the world without the ability to write and to read,” he says. “I can’t remember when or how I learned to read but that, and a compulsion to write, have propelled me through life. The teacher in me wants to help others learn to read. When they do, their lives will be so much richer and more meaningful.” He lives in Gleneden Beach, Oregon.
