John Taylor is a creature of habit, no happier than within the safety and familiarity of his own four walls. The outside world, its noise, excesses, people and problems are too much for this puzzle-setter. That\u2019s right, Taylor creates crosswords (among other brain teasers) and he does it under the name \u2018Ludwig\u2019.<\/p>
Beethoven<\/a> is big in Taylor\u2019s world; ever since he was a child (abandoned by his father one New Year\u2019s Eve) he has consoled himself in the music of Beethoven and it\u2019s safe to say that his affinity with the composer is strong.<\/p> So when Taylor is wrenched from his ordered life so that he might help his sister-in-law get to the bottom of his twin brother\u2019s disappearance, his world is upended. In order to help he must pretend to be his brother, a police detective, and in doing so finds himself having to solve a string of murders. The perfect puzzle.<\/p>
