About this audiobook
Ames Vollmer has tuned pianos in the same river county for twenty-six years. He knows every instrument within forty miles, the widow who makes his tea too early, and exactly how a piano sounds when it has drifted out of true.
Then a Yamaha he serviced six weeks ago has moved — every string, all two hundred and thirty of them, sharp by precisely the same amount. So has the next one. So have the organ pipes in three counties, and a steel tuning fork that has no business changing at all.
Nothing sounds wrong. Everything is going up together.
By summer the whole world can hear the low note underneath it, and people have begun walking out into open fields to stand with their faces lifted, humming. What saves the three who don't is fifty feet of rock, a badly out-of-tune spinet, and a fifteen-year-old girl who has never heard a sound in her life.
A quiet horror story about pitch, patience, and the human necessity of being wrong.
