Fiction by Brendan Slocumb
At the beginning of this book, professional violinist Ray McMillan is leaving a New York hotel after a short stay with his girlfriend. They separate in the lobby and each get into a taxi; each one is headed back to their respective states. But it isn't until Ray gets all the way back home to his apartment in North Carolina that he opens his violin case to practice. Then he discovers that instead of the violin in the case, there is a single shoe and a ransom note.
When I first read this, I though that it was his girlfriend who was kidnapped. But actually, it was his violin being held for ransom.
This makes more sense when you find out that the violin is incredibly valuable and insured for ten million dollars.
This was a really good book with a surprise ending.
Also I liked the cover art on the library copy I read better than the one above, which is apparently the paperback version.
