Join local author Brendan Slocumb for a discussion of his debut novel.

In The Violin Conspiracy, a young Black musician discovers that his old family fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius. When it’s stolen on the eve of the world’s most prestigious classical music competition, he risks everything to get it back.

Books will be available for purchase and signing, in partnership with Hooray for Books.

This event was made possible through the generosity of the Friends of Duncan Library.
