On any given day, there are thousands of items slowly gathering dust in the Lost and Found of Heathrow Airport. Unknown to anyone, hidden among the clutter, is a very special object that can change the fortunes of those who possess it – a violin of rare beauty and power.

Now, as if by chance, it has fallen into the hands of three strangers…

Baggage claim agent Devlin, retired teacher Walter, and appraiser Gabrielle have nothing in common, but can these three unlikely guardians unlock the secrets of the violin?

With heartfelt moments, unexpected connections, and a mystery that lingers long after the final page, this is Evie Woods at her very best.
