Brendan Slocumb’s latest novel, The Dark Maestro, is a propulsive story about sacrifice, loyalty, and the indomitable human spirit.
Curtis Wilson is a cello prodigy growing up in the Southeast D.C. projects with a drug dealer for a father. Through determination and talent, and the loving support of his father’s girlfriend, Curtis claws his way out of his challenging circumstances and rises to unimagined heights in the classical music world - even soloing with the New York Philharmonic. But when his father turns state’s evidence to the FBI, implicating his old bosses, the family - Curtis included - must enter the witness protection program if they want to survive.
Slocumb is the author of The Violin Conspiracy and Symphony of Secrets. For more than 20 years, he has been a public and private school music educator and has performed with orchestras throughout northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC.
