The Violin Conspiracy
Ray McMillian is a young Black man who loves playing the violin and is determined to become a professional musician—even if it means facing his mother's disapproval, a lack of resources to buy a quality violin, and the racism inherent in the world of classical music.
However, his life changes when he discovers that his great-great-grandfather's old violin is actually a priceless Stradivarius. But the instrument is stolen just days before the Tchaikovsky International Competition, the world's largest classical music competition, and Ray feels as though he has lost a part of himself. Determined to recover his heritage, he finds himself embroiled in a dispute with his family and the descendants of the man who enslaved his great-great-grandfather, who claim that the violin belongs to them.
With the odds against him and the pressure mounting, will Ray be able to reclaim his beloved instrument and prove to the world that he was always destined to be a great musician?
