Murder at the Royal Albert: A Daniel Jacobus Mystery
A packed house at London's famed Royal Albert Hall.
Gustav Mahler's monumental 6th Symphony, with its three massive hammer strokes of Fate.
The first and the second go by uneventfully. But then, the third!
Will Mahler's third hammer stroke of Fate claim another victim?
Gerald Elias's riveting eighth installment of the critically acclaimed Daniel Jacobus mystery series will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Blind, curmudgeonly violinist Jacobus and his devoted companions, Yumi Shinagawa and Nathaniel Williams, join forces with Branwell Small, a questionably trustworthy partner in crime solving, and officious DCI Christopher Mattheson as they follow every baffling twist and turn in a truly classical whodunnit.

"A cleverly-constructed mystery, a delicious peek behind the scenes of a world-class orchestra, delightful settings that capture the vibrancy of London and the quaintness of small English villages-an irresistibly entertaining trio!" - Cynthia Baxter, author of the Reigning Cats & Dogs Mysteries and the Lickety Splits Ice Cream Shoppe Mysteries
"Murder at the Royal Albert is a clever and serpentine mystery and, like the famous snake that eats its own tail, it twists and turns on itself in the most unexpected of ways. Readers who enjoy classical music-especially Mahler's Sixth Symphony-will appreciate how, despite the triad of Means, Motive, and Opportunity, famous in solving crimes, there's no accounting for Fate's darker note. Gerald Elias is a maestro of mystery." - Gabriel Valjan, author of the Shane Cleary Mystery series
"Murder at the Royal Albert is a near perfect mystery. Suspenseful throughout, and always smart and elegant. Most importantly, this story has heart. Gerald Elias has created a community of friends and family with the endlessly cranky, brilliant, and noble Daniel Jacobus at the head. He makes us care, and care deeply for characters old and new, and genuinely grieve the lives lost. The Daniel Jacobus series simply never misses." - Victoria Dougherty, author of Welcome to the Hotel Yalta
