What Die rote Violine is
Cremona, Italy, 1681. A violin maker's blood-red varnish. The instrument journeys across centuries and continents, leaving behind a trail of obsession and death. Samuel L. Jackson assesses the artifact's dark provenance. A lush, globe-trotting mystery for those who like their period pieces extra.
