October Read: The Dark Maestro by Brendan Slocumb
Meet-up: Saturday, Nov 1, 5:30 PM
Book Summary:
The Dark Maestro by Brenden Slocumb isn’t just a novel—it’s a symphony of grit, danger, and heart.
Curtis Wilson is no ordinary prodigy. From being a five years old child prodigy in inner-city DC to playing with the New York Philharmonic, his rise is nothing short of breathtaking. But behind the polished concert halls lies a family tied to the streets: Zippy, his father, a mid-level dealer with dangerous connections, and Larissa, the woman who keeps them grounded with love.
When Zippy crosses the wrong kingpin, everything shatters. Forced into witness protection, Curtis must leave behind not just the stage—but the dream he’s bled for. Yet the music doesn’t stop there. When law enforcement proves powerless, Curtis and his family decide to face the cartel on their own terms.
📚 The Dark Maestro is a pulse-pounding tale of sacrifice, loyalty, and the unstoppable human spirit. Imagine the intensity of a thriller set to the grandeur of a classical score—you won’t want to put this one down.
