[F_minor] OT: Goldberg Variations featured in a new thriller
Interesting...
The book is Night Visions : A Novel of Suspense by Thomas Fahy
http://www.amazon.com/Night-Visions-Suspense-Thomas-Fahy/dp/B000C4SS08/ref=sr_1_1/002-2526761-6009632?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174959207&sr=1-1
According to the description, "The treatment seems to be a success, but
after her first full night of sleep in months, Samantha learns that one of
the other participants in the study has been murdered. The body is found
crucified upside down, and a recording of J. S. Bach's "Goldberg
Variations" plays at the scene..." Even more intriguingly, from the
Publisher's Weekly review...
"Meanwhile, flashbacks to the court of the historical German Count Hermann
Carl von Keyserlingk-also an insomniac, and the man who hired Johann
Sebastian Bach to write what will become known as the Goldberg
Variations-prove crucial to the solution of the puzzle."
I know there are lots of stories where the Goldbergs are featured, but I
think this is the first one I've heard of where Count Hermann Carl von
Keyserlingk and Bach end up in the story. :-)
