The Lost Ballet — Richard Dorrance

A lovable but dumb dog running around a mansion beach house crashes head first into the side of an antique Russian desk, revealing a secret compartment. In it the Junes find a musical score Igor Stravinsky wrote for a ballet in 1914, and lost to the world for the last hundred years. Financed by wealthy friends, and assisted by Mikhail Baryshnikov and Catherine Deneuve, that icon of French culture, Gwenny and Roger decided to produce the ballet in Charleston. Only an old nemesis, Russian billionaire and former Nazi hunter, Stirg, thinks the ballet should be produced in the homeland, Saint Petersburg, Russia, and steals the score. The battle of the two ballet productions is on, and each side swears theirs will be the world premiere.
