About the Author...

Gerald Elias leads a double life as a world-class musician and critically acclaimed author.  

Devil's Trill, the first novel in his award-winning Daniel Jacobus mystery series that takes place in the dark corners of the classical music world, was a Barnes & Noble "Discover: Great New Writers" selection. In 2020 he penned The Beethoven Sequence, a chilling psycho-political thriller. Look for more Elias mysteries in the near future!

Elias is a former violinist with the Boston Symphony and associate concertmaster of the Utah Symphony. He maintains a vibrant concert career as a performer, composer, conductor, and educator while continuing to expand his literary horizons.   ​

The Beethoven Sequence (September 2020)
News and Reviews...

“Captivating and wholly originally debut...A good choice for mystery fans wanting something new and music lovers who do not usually consider crime fiction.”
- Library Journal, Starred Review for Devil's Trill

“The refreshingly caustic Jacobus, a cast of superbly drawn supporting characters, an interesting classical music milieu accessible to aficionados and neophytes alike, an unexpected twist or two, and a unique murder method combine for an engrossing read.”
- Publisher's Weekly for Danse Macabre

“Elias serves up a feast of music, music lore, and diabolical modus operandi. Well conducted.”
- Booklist for Death and the Maiden

“Brilliant and captivating on every level.”
- Booklist, Starred Review, for Death and Transfiguration
