In a shadowy antiques shop in Rome, violinist Julia Ansdell happens upon a curious piece of music—the Incendio waltz—and is immediately entranced by its unusual composition. Full of passion, torment, and chilling beauty, and seemingly unknown to the world, the waltz, its mournful minor key, its feverish arpeggios, appear to dance with a strange life of their own. Julia is determined to master the complex work and make its melody heard.

Back home in Boston, from the moment Julia’s bow moves across the strings, drawing the waltz’s fiery notes into the air, something strange is stirred—and Julia’s world comes under threat. The music has a terrifying and inexplicable effect on her young daughter, who seems violently transformed. Convinced that the hypnotic strains of Incendio are weaving a malevolent spell, Julia sets out to discover the man and the meaning behind the score.

Her quest beckons Julia to the ancient city of Venice, where she uncovers a dark, decades-old secret involving a dangerously powerful family that will stop at nothing to keep Julia from bringing the truth to light.

寫出與讀者期盼不同的作品,總是令人膽顫心驚。不過,我必須寫下這本書,我覺得彷彿有一股異聲在牽引著我。──泰絲・格里森
 
在羅馬一家陰暗的古董店,小提琴家茱麗亞・安司德爾偶然發現了一件奇特的音樂作品——〈火焰〉華爾滋——立刻被其獨特的曲風所吸引。充滿熱情、痛苦、令人膽寒的美感,而且似乎從未發表過,這首華爾滋哀傷的小調、熱情的琶音,似乎在舞出自己奇特的生命。茱麗亞決心要駕馭這首複雜的作品,讓眾人聽到它的旋律。
 
回到波士頓後,從茱麗亞的琴弓劃過琴絃、將這首華爾滋熾熱的音符散播出來的那一刻開始,就喚醒了某種奇怪的東西──而且茱麗亞的世界開始受到威脅。這首樂曲對她年幼的女兒有一種可怕又無法解釋的效果,讓女兒似乎有了劇烈的轉變。茱麗亞相信〈火焰〉旋律具有催眠效果,會施展惡意的魔力,於是開始追查作曲者和這首樂曲背後的意義。
 
為了尋找答案,茱麗亞一路來到威尼斯,在此她發現了一個埋藏數十年的黑暗秘密,牽涉到一個危險而有權勢的家族,他們會不惜任何代價,阻止茱麗亞將真相攤開在陽光底下……
