The Uneven Score — Carla Neggers

DEADLY PERFORMANCE

Whitney McCallie, musician and conductor of an upstate New York community orchestra, hadn't heard from her friend Victoria Paderevsky in eight years. But the eccentric, world-famous conductor now reappeared from the past--and swore that someone wanted to murder her before the premier performance of the Central Florida Symphony Orchestra.

When Whitney flew to Orlando, she was surprised to be met by Daniel Graham, who argued that the brilliant and irascible Paddy was merely a victim of her own paranoia. Locked in Daniel's consuming embrace, Whitney desperately wanted to believe him...

But someone did try to kill Paddy! And now the killer was stalking Whitney. If Daniel was lying about the death threats, was he lying about his feelings for Whitney? Did he know something sinister about the symphony's opening night ... which was threatening to be Whitney's final night?

Hero: Daniel Graham
Heroine: Whitney McCallie
