Donato del Nero arrives in London for a concert which he hopes will
establish himself as the greatest virtuoso of the age, he discovers
that his priceless instrument - the Medici Stradivarius - has been
stolen. Only on the Medici, once the secret treasure of Paganini
and rumoured to possess near-magical properties as Stradivarius'
masterpiece, has del Nero been able to realise his enormous
potential as a peerless genius of the violin. Without it he fears
the collapse of his talent. Fortunately Mr Sherlock Holmes, whose
own talents have been languishing since the death of archrival
Professor Moriarty and who has been contemplating retirement from
criminal detection, is pressed into action. His investigation of
the theft becomes simultaneously a fascinating inquiry into the
secrets of violin-making and the art of musical interpretation and
virtuosity. Erudite and witty, The Case of the Missing Stradivarius
is sure to delight players and lovers of music, as well as fans of
Conan Doyle's immortal detective.
