The Copper Bracelet
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.
