Despite what the title implies, the story is less about Mozart and more about a secret society trying to hide a conspiracy in the modern day.
Oliver Llewellyn was a concert pianist who played across Europe. One night while performing at a private party at a mansion in Austria Oliver walks into something he should never have seen and dies mysteriously; but not before sending his life's work to his sister, the famous opera singer Leigh Llewellyn.
After Oliver's funeral Leigh calls up a former love, ex-SAS agent Ben Hope. Despite their history they both sit down and examine Oliver's work and what they find is startling.
Oliver was researching Mozart and his possible involvement with an underground society called the Order of Ra. Unfortunately, the group still exists in Europe and they don't want outsiders investigating their secrets. Leigh and Ben find themselves in great danger and racing across Europe to escape the bad guys.
It sounds cheesy but it was actually very good. I expected it to be over the top with conspiracy theories and James Bond plots but it wasn't. The characters are likable, the book is focused more on the current day then a cheesy background, and the twist at the end will leave the reader shocked.
