THE VIOLIN CONSPIRACY

THE VIOLIN CONSPIRACY by Brendan Slocumb

Rayquan McMillian is a young African American man who loves playing the violin. His whole life everyone has been against the idea of him playing. The world refuses to accept an African American in a white person's world. His family thinks it's a waste of time, and he'll never go anywhere. Everyone that is except his grandmother. His grandmother remembers back to her grandfather, who was a slave, and his amazing gift of being able to play the violin for his master. In fact somewhere in her attic is his violin. She gifts the violin to Ray which turns out to be a Stradivarius worth $10 million dollars. Now his mom, aunts, and uncle want to sell it for the money, and the former master's family claims it was stolen from them. Then on top of that, he opens the case, and the violin is gone- stolen. This book is full of unexpected twists and turns that will keep you guessing to the end, and it's very clear the author knows violins and classical music.

HOWEVER, HEADS UP- this book has a ton of language especially the f-bomb. Anytime a fight or even a victory happens it is heavily punctuated with the f-word. On top of that you know Ray and his girlfriend are having sex, but the book doesn't go into detail.
