Harold Middleton returns in this explosive sequel to The Chopin Manuscript as he’s drawn into an international terror plot that threatens to send India and Pakistan into full-scale nuclear war. Careening from Nice to London and Moscow to Kashmir to prevent nuclear disaster, Middleton is unaware his prey has changed and the act of terror is far more diabolical than he knows. Will he discover the identity of the Scorpion in time to halt an event that will pit the United States, China, and Russia against each other at the brink of World War III?

A follow-up to the award-winning The Chopin Manuscript, The Copper Bracelet brings together 16 of the world’s most celebrated thriller writers including Lee Child, Joseph Finder, David Hewson, David Liss, and Lisa Scottoline to each write a chapter of this pulsing tale. Once again, Jeffery Deaver set the story in motion, and brings it to its shocking finale.

Jeffery Deaver

Long before The Bone Collector introduced the calculating brilliance of Lincoln Rhyme to readers around the world, Jeffery Deaver was already quietly assembling the tools of his trade: a fascination with psychology, a sharp legal mind, and a love of music that taught him how to pace a story like a song, with rising tension, sudden drops, and crescendos that leave you breathless.

Born outside Chicago in 1950, Deaver’s path to becoming one of the most inventive voices in modern crime fiction wasn’t linear. He studied journalism, practiced law, and even considered a career in folk music before finding his stride in fiction. That varied background seeps into his novels, where legal nuance, technical precision, and psychological complexity collide in plots that are always one twist ahead of the reader.

What sets Deaver apart in the world of thrillers is not just his ability to craft airtight plots but his near-clinical attention to how people tick. His characters, especially those like the quadriplegic forensic genius Lincoln Rhyme or the emotionally layered Kathryn Dance, aren’t just puzzle-solvers. They are portraits of resilience, intellect, and internal struggle. Through them, Deaver doesn’t just tell a mystery, he peels back the layers of obsession, fear, and control that drive people to the edge.

With over 40 novels and short story collections, including bestsellers like The Coffin Dancer, The Kill Room, and The Midnight Lock, Deaver has become a fixture on international bestseller lists. His work has been translated into dozens of languages and adapted for film and television, but he remains a writer’s writer, meticulous in structure, unpredictable in outcome, and deeply committed to the craft of suspense.

Even after decades in the genre, Deaver hasn’t settled into predictability. He continues to explore new angles on justice, morality, and technology, often incorporating cutting-edge forensic science and cybercrime into his stories. His readers don’t come for comfort, they come for a mental chess match where every move counts and nothing is ever quite what it seems.

Whether he’s crafting a standalone psychological thriller or dropping readers into the cat-and-mouse world of Rhyme and Dance, Deaver’s fiction is unmistakable: intricate, unsettling, and utterly addictive. He doesn’t just write about crime, he dissects it.
