Music. Art. Nazis. Easy peasy...

Between them, Bernard and Melody Earls have looks, charm, brains...everything but money. That's why they steal from the rich and give to themselves. When they're offered $20,000 to pilfer a music manuscript believed destroyed in World War II, they figure it's worth a look. Sure, the artifact might not exist. (Probably doesn't.) Yeah, it's allegedly locked in an off-limits women's room. (What kind of sense does that make?) Okay, said restroom slumbers on the third floor of the Nachtnebel Arts Foundation, a gaudy establishment protected by the best security system money can buy. (That, at least, makes sense.) And of course, owner Gerhard Nachtnebel, Jr. is the son of a Nazi thief and murderer. (Which is just terrifying.)

Still, a job is a job, and this one offers plenty to steal, so long as nobody gets shot in the head. But as Bernard and Melody charm their way in posing as art students, a dark-well, darker-shadow rises. Because their employer might not be what she seems. She's after more than a famous lost sheaf of music. Have the Earls duo been drawn into a bitter multi-generational vendetta? If so, all that can save them are Bernard's wits...and Melody's divine luck!

Rooftop Sonata, Bernard and Melody Caper #2, is a humorous tale of crime and caring, love and hate, and life's little absurdities.
