Moments after Ace takes the case, Derkin narrowly escapes death by falling masonry. Ace will have to solve the mystery before the mystery puts Derkin six feet under.
But what - or who - could be putting Charles Derkin in peril? Is it mysterious paranormal forces? Is it Filbert Monocles, the diminutive director of the violin's security organization? Is it Isabella Rosavino, the vivacious Italian photographer?
Ace's probing is not appreciated by the evil forces at work. Soon, the violin's circle of danger expands to include Ace, then tightens like a hangman's noose. When Derkin and his violin are kidnapped, Ace will need all of her wits, her swashbuckling partners, and an airship to have a hope of saving him before they both become the next victims of - THE DEADLY VIOLIN.
