Join us for a Zoom conversation with author and virtuoso violinist Gerald Elias (Yale College '75; Yale School of Music) about his book Devil's Trill: A Daniel Jacobus Mystery. This online event will take place on Saturday, August 21, at 11:30 AM (MDT), and will include some live music by the author, in addition to the discussion.
Devil's Trill has been hailed by Publisher's Weekly as a "richly plotted mystery [that] will thrill music lovers, while those not so musically inclined will find it equally enjoyable." The book may be purchased from its current publisher, Level Best Books , or at The King's English Bookshop in Salt Lake City or other popular online booksellers, including Amazon (Kindle edition here). The audio book, which includes the author's own haunting violin playing, is found at Alison Larkin Presents or on Audible. Check your local library system, too!
