Publisher's summary

A peaceful picnic in the French countryside explodes in violence. A mysterious assassin hisses a deadly threat. And events are set in motion that could propel India and Pakistan down the road to nuclear confrontation.

Two years after the events of the Audiobook of the Year - The Chopin Manuscript - former war crimes investigator Harold Middleton and his Volunteers once again must crack a secretive conspiracy that not only threatens their lives, but the stability of the world. Their race against time will take them from London to the U.S. to Russia and beyond. And at the heart of it all is one question: What is the secret of the Copper Bracelet?

Sixteen of the world's greatest thriller writers collaborated on The Copper Bracelet. Once again, as he did with The Chopin Manuscript, Jeffery Deaver wrote the first chapter. Then, each successive author wrote a chapter in turn, finally returning it to Deaver to complete this thrilling sequel.

Critic reviews

"This was like playing on an all-star team, and all the hits were home runs." (Lee Child)

"A feast for the senses, The Copper Bracelet continues the standard of excellence established by The Chopin Manuscript. Action, intrigue, suspense, they are all there. Another certified no-question-about-it-winner from a remarkable collection of talent. Bravo." (Steve Berry)

"What a blast to collaborate with some of the greatest suspense writers around on the thriller event of the year." (Joseph Finder)

"I can't think of a more enjoyable writing experience in my twenty-five years of being a fiction author than writing The Copper Bracelet and its predecessor, The Chopin Manuscript. We writers spend way too much time by ourselves in dark rooms, and it was a delight to emerge from the cave and hang out, so to speak, with my peers. I have to say that I sat down to read the manuscript with more than little trepidation. I needn't have worried. I was blown away...[and was] fascinated to see how a group of authors with vastly varied writing styles and approaches to creativity produced such a cohesive thriller with a relentlessly fast-paced narrative. (And, okay, I'll admit, I got a voyeur's kick in seeing how my talented co-authors ply their craft.)" (Jeffery Deaver)

great challenge for writers

this is a great book-- each writer writes a chapter and each one tries to outdo the other
great story - and great authors

Hope There Will Be More!

Excellent story, exceptional narration. Loved it, even picked up some new authors to read. Hope there's more in the offing!

spy mystery with a surprising end.

each chapter is written by a different author. I found this annoying as the story did not flow as smoothly as it could have

Excellent!

Great story and Alfred Molina is a wonderful narrator! Highly recommend the Harold Middleton series.

What a concept and a wonderful job.

This reader/listener always had to remind himself that someone new was telling the story. Then the shift in focus from author to author was a bit clearer. What a job well done. I have to listen to it again.

Great Book!

Ok - I am not an expert reviewer... this was my first ever audio book. But here goes. I enjoyed the colorful language of the authors and the various terns and twists of the plot were captivating. This was well worth it and a great read.

Best of the best make a great appearance

This was my first experience to seeing what the best of the best are able to do in a single chapter. Talk about twists and turns in a story line. I will choose this format again, and again!

Fantastic

This book was great. Loved the fact that all the authors wrote a chapter for it. Was great to see all the styles that contributed to make this book really enjoyable.
Listen to the Chopin Manucript first though.

Brilliant idea

I just had to listen to this book to see how each author would put his mark on it - and wow! wonderful - it's also great to know who wrote which chapter and even better to see how they would flow into each other.

It was really great!

Could have done without the music between chapters

Thought it may be disjointed due to the number of authors but it wasn't. The music between the chapters was annoying.
