"What if Frédéric Chopin hadn't died at thirty-nine? What more could he have composed?"
When twelve-year-old Rae Burgess asks her older brother that question, they never expect to find themselves caught in a centuries-old mystery.
During a sudden trip to Paris, Frank, Rae, and Theo Burgess discover a forgotten letter hidden deep within their family's historic manor. Written by Chopin himself, the letter contains a cryptic riddle--and a rumor that has haunted the house for generations: Frédéric Chopin may have left behind a final, unpublished manuscript.
Determined to uncover the truth, the siblings plunge into a treasure hunt filled with hidden clues, long-buried secrets, unexpected allies, and obstacles that threaten to stop them at every turn.
But as the mystery deepens, the Burgess family faces a more immediate danger. Their beloved ancestral home is running out of time.
A waltz lost for two centuries, a race against time, and the unforgettable bond of family--can three ordinary children uncover Chopin's last dance before they lose the place they call home?
"I am born under fingers, but I breathe through the heart..."
Some treasures are found in hidden compartments.
Others are found in people.
