Tenderwire,
by Claire Kilroy
Claire Kilroy's
Tenderwire is the Irish author's debut in America. Violinist
Eva Tynes (also Irish born) is living in New York and performing in a chamber
orchestra when she collapses. Immediately after her hospitalization, she seems
to be inwardly drifting in a fog. A visit to a local bar leads to hooking up
with investment banker Daniel and breaking up with her long term boyfriend. She
continues risk taking behaviors, buying a black market violin from a Russian who
claims it is a Stradivarius. After acquiring the instrument her professional and
personal life spiral into mystery and suspense surrounding the violin.
