In "The Chopin Manuscript" 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. "The Copper Bracelet"--Sequel to "The Chopin Manuscript"--follows Harold Middleton as he's drawn into an international terror plot that threatens to send India and Pakistan into full-scale nuclear war.

Two novellas co-written by Deaver and twenty-two other authors each writing a chapter; conceived, initiated, and completed by Deaver.
