David Young, classical pianist, composer, and conductor, was honored to be asked to perform at the 1987 Economic Summit in Venice. But the piece he was to play, Murchison's Nocturne, might well bring about the end of the world.

September 27, 2001: Reading Nocturne will take about a day and it will be a day well spent, in my opinion. On one level Nocturne is a spy novel set against the backdrop of an economic summit in Venice during the late 1980s. Charectors, each with their own agendas, wage shadowy war against one another with the highest stakes imaginable. On another level, though, Nocturne is a meditation on friendship, redemption, and revenge. Two of the most interesting charectors in the novel are not the spies, but the musician and doctor couple, ordinary people who are thrown into a situation far from ordinary. They are forced to draw upon strength neither thought they had. Think about Jimmy Stewert and Doris Day in The Man Who Knew Too Much and you'll see what I mean. Indeed, Hitchcock in his prime could have made a splendid movie from Nocturne
