Sextet is a contemporary novel of music and deceit.
Two strangers meet in a hospital, unaware that their lives are inextricably linked. Tom Fielding is waiting for news of his wife, the victim of a road accident. Joseph Maggiore is silent, blaming himself for the crisis that engulfed his world and led to his wife lying unconscious in Intensive Care. When tragedy strikes, both men are left to confront painful reality. Tom evaluates his marriage to the fragile and elegant Sophie. Joseph has neglected Carla in his pursuit of fame as a concert pianist. As their lives unravel, Tom seeks justice from the authorities, and Joseph learns a truth that rocks the foundation of his being. Joseph's agent Richard and an innocent child are enmeshed in the fallout from unforeseen discoveries. Sextet follows Joseph and Tom on a journey through grief and recovery. The drama of betrayal and deception is played out against a background of piano music and hotel bedrooms. The facade of harmony is torn away and from six shattered lives, hope emerges.
