The Mozart Conspiracy By Scott Mariani

If you like conspiracy stories and Dan Brown’s books, I believe you will like Scott Mariani’s The Mozart Conspiracy. The true mystery surrounding the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been used as the backdrop for the The Mozart Conspiracy.

The Mozart Conspiracy by Scott Mariani

The Mozart Conspiracy is an action-packed thriller featuring retired British Special Air Service Major Ben Hope. Enlisted by Leigh Llewellyn–the beautiful, world-famous opera star and Ben’s first love–to investigate the mysterious death of her brother Oliver, Ben finds himself caught up in a puzzle dating back to the 1700s.

At the time of his death, Oliver was working on a new book about the death of Mozart. Though the official report states that a drunken Oliver died in a tragic drowning in a frozen lake, the facts just don’t add up. Oliver’s research papers reveal that Mozart, a notable Freemason, may have been killed by a shadowy and powerful splinter group of the organization. The only proof lies in the Mozart Letter, a letter believed to have  been written by Mozart himself.

When Leigh and Ben receive a video documenting a ritual sacrifice performed by hooded men, they realize that the sect is still in existence today and will stop at nothing to achieve its goal. In a wild chase across Europe, Hope tracks down the powerful sect known as the Order of Ra.

The ending of book is heartbreaking but I have expected it. Had it been a happy ending, it would have meant the end of the series featuring Ben Hope but I know there are many more books in the series after the Mozart Conspiracy.

The Mozart Conspiracy is the first Scott Mariani book that I have read. It took me on a high octane ride and has me hooked. I am looking forward to read the other 5 or 6 Scott Mariani books in my collection.
