"Sir Stefan Radek was a world famous conductor, and also a self-absorbed, lecherous tyrant. After Sir Stefan was murdered during a rehearsal of the Royal London Philharmonic orchestra, Detective Inspector Bill Slider is assigned to the case. Slider soon realizes that finding the killer is going to be quite difficult because just about everyone who knew Sir Stefan wanted to kill him. "
