When a rare, intoxicating violin turns up in Heathrow’s Lost and Found, three unlikely custodians find their lives braided together by music, mystery and longing. Callum, newly empowered by the instrument’s strange pull, must reckon with temptation, theft and the past he hoped to leave behind.

Sweeping between airports, salons and concert halls, this evocative novel explores fate, love and the subtle power of art to change who we become. Richly atmospheric and emotionally resonant, The Last String of Fortune weaves a lyrical story of connection, consequence and the yearning at the heart of every song.
