The Violinist: A Frank Sloan Novel

By M.J. Kola

The Violinist is a return to classic style pulp-noir crime novels. In 1956, the City of Atlanta Georgia was rocked when a prominent socialite is murdered in the upscale community of Ansley Park. While the subject of murder isn't anything new to Police Detective Frank Sloan, nothing about the case is straightforward. Found among the evidence at the first crime scene was a destroyed Stradivarius and documents that linked the violin to an Eastern European art thief as well as a Nazi Schutzstaffel officer. As Frank and his partner track down the killer, two things become clear. The first, that if anyone ever deserved to die it was the victim. And the second, this murder would not be the last. Frank will find himself pulled into a game of misdirection, drugs, psychiatric experiments, and cold war era espionage. As the investigation intensifies and the body count grows, the Detective will be forced to come to terms with the trauma he suffered during the Second World War and the guilt he's lived with every day since.
