Brendan Slocumb drew on his career as a professional violinist to write The Violin Conspiracy (2022), a thriller about a Black violinist whose prized family instrument is stolen just before a major international competition. The book was a Good Morning America book club pick and a bestseller.
He followed it with Symphony of Secrets (2023), which explores a century-old musical fraud involving a famous composer, and The Dark Maestro (2025). All three novels use the classical music world as a backdrop for stories about talent, theft, and the way race shapes who gets credit for artistic achievement.
