It’s 1924 and John Edward Haddock, a young man with a fine reputation as a merchant marine at home on the sea, is offered an opportunity to make a cool thousand dollars … one half of his annual salary. All he has to do is drive the Black Duck, the fastest powerboat in Narragansett Bay, out to Rum Row, just outside the three-mile territorial limit of the USA, pick up a load of contraband liquor (it’s Prohibition) and sneak it back ashore under the watchful eye of the U.S. Coast Guard patrols. John Edward, the forefather of the Haddock clan of Little Penwick, has a lot to lose.

Finally out of jail after tangling with a corrupt state Attorney General, Julius Haddock—the retired police chief of tiny Little Penwick, Rhode Island—is drifting through his days with a brand-new private investigator's license burning a hole in his pocket. Bored and restless, he decides to crack open the town's oldest cold case: the thirty-year-old murder of a sixteen-year-old girl who pedaled off on her bike one summer morning to work at the local farm stand… and never arrived. They found her body the next day, but the evidence was thin then and thinner now.

An ancient song composed by King David’s chief musician Asaph, discovered by the Teutonic Crusaders to the Holy Land, returned to Germany, then divided into four fragments and hidden to prevent the fearsome powers of God unleashed if the Song is ever played … This is the legend pursued by the 15-year-old Johann Sebastian Bach and his schoolmate Georg Erdmann in 1700 as they walk the 250 miles from their small town of Ohrdruf to the northern city of Lüneburg to join the St. Michael’s School choir.

In 1736 Leipzig, Cantor Johann Sebastian Bach is feeling oppressed—the city council ignores him, his students are unruly and unappreciative, and the head of the St. Thomas School wants to eliminate the musical curriculum entirely.

As Bach and his secretary/cousin Elias search the city for the boy, it appears that the school head and the mayor may be in league.
