The Fabergé Flute

By Maeve Maddox

Amateur flutist Sallie Dunbar has had all she can take of her tedious, penny-pinching, small-town existence. At the end of a very bad, awful day, she decides to shake up her life by splurging on a six-day music convention in 1980s London. None of the people she meets—the good-looking guy on the plane, the flute salesman who looks like Omar Sharif, the creepy, ubiquitous waiter, the friendly couple from Chicago—are what they seem. Even Tacet, the Jack Russell terrier, has a secret. Armed only with her instincts and a mental store of literary and movie trivia, Sallie must avoid becoming one more fatality in a deadly 70-year quest to possess the Fabergé Flute.
