Trouble in the Brasses

MURDER STRIKES A FALSE NOTE

Trouble has dogged Sir Emlyn Rhys ever since he became guest conductor of the Wagstaffe Symphony Orchestra. He sends an SOS to his son the Mountie, and Detective Inspector Madoc Rhys arrives just in time to witness the unlovely death of the principal French horn player. But the tour must go on -- and so off they go in a borrowed plane that crashes, leaving the Rhyses and the musicians stranded in a ghost town. Will they die of cold and starvation before they're found? Or be talked to death by a rival of the Wright brothers? Or will they get bumped off one by one, by a killer who likes to experiment with an interesting range of weapons?
