All wind musicians eventually
blow themselves out, but french
horn player Wilhelm Ochs playea
his last note before he ever reached
that point. A true professional, he
had the good timing to die back-
stage at intermission. And it wasn t
his chronic stomach problems that
did him in. Clearly, mused Detec-
tive Inspector Madoc Rhys, there
was homicide in the horns.
Madoc suspected something was
off-key when he was summoned by
his father, Sir Emlyn Rhys, guest
conductor of the Wagstaffe Sym-
phony Orchestra. "There s trouble
in the brasses," trumpeted Sir
Emlyn. "Nasty pranks, bickering,
tension." Neither he nor the for-
midable Lady Rhys had counted
on murder. Was it just another one
of those "nasty pranks"?. Or was
it a cold-blooded, premeditated,
exquisitely orchestrated killing?
