Leon Perlee restores antique street organs in Holland's oldest surviving street organ business. On the other side of the Atlantic, Cubans too play these unusual instruments. On a visit to Cuba, Leon meets Milades Sosa, the niece of a craftsman in the organ factory. For both of them, it was love at first sight. But strict immigration laws and visa restrictions keep Leon and Milades physically apart. Corresponding through words and music they hope they will eventually be reunited forever. But will they?

For all that time, Major General Hugh Tudor shunned photographs and interviews, scrupulously avoided publicity and lived a deliberately quiet life in the shadows - far from his country, his wife and children, and very far indeed from the limelight. But he lived in fear. And he harboured a dark secret. One that would eventually cause an assassin to cross the Atlantic with a mission: to hunt him down.

Musicologists today give him credit for creating the modern canon of Newfoundland folksong. A star of regional radio and television with over a dozen record albums to his credit, Omar Blondahl was once a household name in Newfoundland. Then at the peak of his career four decades ago he suddenly disappeared, never to sing again. Even his family had no idea where he went. Beginning with genealogical records in Reykjavik and ending with an old man and a box of mementos in a Vancouver apartment, THE MAN WHO SANG GOODBYE sleuths out what happened.
