The Lost Chord

This is the eagerly awaited second novel by singer-songwriter-author Ian Thomas. With a storyline that crosses into the realm of the otherworldly, "The Lost Chord" is certain to captivate the reading public with a compelling story of murder and madness, ancient secrets and modern day intrigue. The novel offers an incredible journey into the uncharted waters that reside on the other side of physical existence. To return to an earthly plane from such a journey is to face the daunting struggle of learning to live with a knowledge no human being should possess. In 1847, a Franciscan monk, stumbles on a musical means facilitating consciousness leaving the body. The problem is -- getting back! Not only does his work place many lives in jeopardy in his own time, but when his manuscript surfaces in 1989 the trouble begins all over again. There is a good reason why some of the greatest minds from Plato to Shakespeare have pondered the spiritual nature of music.
