Bertrand is a street musician who's often found screaming on the boulevards and squares of Amsterdam. Most chose to ignore him...that is, until his synapses line up giving him the ability to make music that is divined from the ether. It's been said that music is one of the only activities that activates, stimulates, and uses the entire brain. Could Bertrand's music be a conduit to our shared celestial mind-the medium bridging the conscious to the unconscious world? Many of the Gypsies and Street-people who follow him like a God believe so.
What they don't know, is that Bertrand was a child prodigy back in the U.S., a child of wealthy New Yorkers with an inheritance that others want to take charge of. They want him back on his meds that control his schizophrenia and render him docile, meds that close the door to his musical genius...and his ability to touch others to the very core of their being.
Christopher takes you into the depths of Bertrand's world, a world sizzling with music and the characters on the fringe that make it on its most primal level. And alternately, into the world of those that could care less, whose only motivation is money....

ClarionReview Gives, The Note, 4 out of 5 stars
The Note, by Christopher Cromwell
The Note reads smoothly and effortlessly. The movement between backstory andpresent action is seamless. Even in quiet, reflective scenes, the thriller hasa sinister edge that helps to power the story forward. Jenin is an intriguingfoil to Bertrand, and the two characters closest to Hiram battle in subtle waysthroughout the tense novel. The focus shifts continually between the differentcharacters. Cromwell, instead of centering his novel on the aftermath ofHiram's death, takes the unusual option of depicting the machinations of Jeninas Hiram is ill, adding another layer of tension to the work.
The Note is a slow-building, tense, and multilayered work that moves betweencontinents and perspectives, all while maintaining its focus on the dynamics ofone particular unusual family. The book will appeal to thriller fans who areinterested in well-drawn characters and taut tales with just a tinge of thesupernatural.
