The Schubert Connection

Lily Lindstrom, a music history professor at a small Lutheran college in Minnesota, plans to spend the winter searching for a lost love song by Franz Schubert while teaching in the college's Vienna program. However, as she navigates the streets of Vienna, Lily finds more than she's looking for, including Hungarians cooking up something other than goulash, an upstairs neighbor with a fondness for plum brandy and famous Austrians, and a handsome American doctor from Atlanta, who says he's on special assignment for the CDC.

Lily's adventures unfold against the backdrop of present day Vienna, Austria, with all of its charm, gorgeous music and stately buildings. Whether she's riding the streetcar, attending a ball, enjoying a concert, or walking the streets Schubert walked, Lily finds intrigue around every corner and manages to unravel more than just musical mysteries. The Schubert Connection weaves together themes of music, history, and crime into an entertaining concoction, as delectable as a Viennese pastry.
