Publisher's Summary

15 thriller masters. 1 masterful thriller.

Former war crimes investigator Harold Middleton possesses a previously unknown score by Frederic Chopin. But he is unaware that, locked within its handwritten notes, lies a secret that now threatens the lives of thousands of Americans. As he races from Poland to America to uncover the mystery of the manuscript, Middleton will be accused of murder, pursued by federal agents, and targeted by assassins. But the greatest threat will come from a shadowy figure out of his past: the man known only as Faust.

The Chopin Manuscript is a unique collaboration by 15 of the world's greatest thriller writers. Jeffery Deaver conceived the characters and set the plot in motion; the other authors each wrote a chapter in turn. Deaver then completed what he started, bringing The Chopin Manuscript to its explosive conclusion.

    "Innovative and unique, The Chopin Manuscript, written by masters in the field of thrillers, is far more than the sum of its parts. Here each author shines, blending individual skill and energy, into a riveting, crackling-paced tapestry of murder, mystery, and mayhem. Not to be missed!" (James Rollins, author of The Judas Strain)

A stellar achievement of collectivity that blows from the starting gate at 100 mph and never slows down. A thrill-a-page from 15 GREAT thriller masters. Don't miss this one." (Steve Berry, author of The Venetian Betrayal)

    This was one of my favorite audio books so far. Each chapter really builds on the next.

    I stopped 2/3 of the way through this. There are too many characters and names that appear briefly, disappear, and then reappear later, creating confusion. There was not enough story to justify the effort needed to keep things straight. Maybe this would be OK in print but it is not good in audio.

    I am not usually a "thriller" purchaser. The idea of all these writers intrigued me. It was great. Grabbed me from the very beginning. The idea of all these different minds threading their way through this really really good story. Great job in every area; writing, narration, production. Thank you everyone. Thoroughly enjoyable.

    By: R Paul (USA)
    November 11, 2009
    Not very consuming whatsoever. A bit disjunctive in thought and substance. With all the "superstar" writers conglomerating their "best chapters" into one book, I was very disappointed. I sincerely hope the Copper Bracelet is coalesced in a much better method. I did not like this book.

    By: Lisa (holly springs, NC, USA)

    Creative Genius! 15 Authors threading together a mystery thriller into tantalizing suspense, one chapter at time. Unpredictable twisting plot, and involved, well developed characters. The narration by Alfred Molina was spectacular! Job well done with heavily accented characters of European origin. Clear separation of chapters with sophisticated instrumental piano intros to lead the way. Loved this Audible! Looking forward to the next read in the series, the Copper Bracelet. ~D
