The Most Noble Scroll - Paperback

by Jan Eglen (Author)

A violin bought for forty dollars should not be worth millions.

It should not carry three centuries of history. It should not attract the attention of international collectors, powerful foundations, and lawyers willing to fight for ownership. And it certainly should not lead a musician to uncover a story his own family never knew they were part of.

Freeman Coulter Freeman has spent twelve years playing the old violin he found at a Louisiana estate sale. Then one discovery changes everything. The instrument is a lost Stradivarius. What follows is a gripping violin mystery that stretches from the workshops of eighteenth-century Cremona to the jazz clubs and hidden archives of modern America.

As genealogists, historians, and attorneys race to trace the instrument's origins, buried records reveal generations of family secrets, forgotten names, and a chain of guardians who protected something priceless without ever knowing its true value. What begins as a historical mystery novel becomes a search for identity, inheritance, and truth itself.

In this literature mystery, Tammy Beauregard, a woman determined to uncover how a legendary violin found its way into the hands of an ordinary musician. Her investigation uncovers hidden history fiction at its finest, a story of stewardship a family legacy that survived for nearly two hundred years.

Blending the atmosphere of jazz culture with the emotional depth of a generational family saga, The Most Noble Scroll is a character driven mystery and Stradivarius novel about memory, belonging, and the extraordinary journey of a treasure that finally found its way home.

Some inheritances are worth millions.

Some are beyond price.
