Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
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.

The time spent writing this book should have been time spent on vacation, family time, or even time reading. This was crap! Wish I had my money back.

This probably isn't the deepest international intrigue novel out there, but I think the twists and "I forgot my briefcase" moments alluded to by another reviewer were obviously intentional as each author picked up the tale. That said, I think the book was better edited than most single-author ventures are these days. I did enjoy the different styles, some of which stand out more than others. I read this in one day, and, if there was another, I'd read that one, too.

This is fun. It held my interest throughout the book. Knowing a new author would have to pick up the pieces at the end of each chapter added mystery and anticipation. I wish it had been longer.

I enjoyed this audio book. It was excellent highway fodder and made the time pass quickly.
However, the serial nature caused some authors to countermand each others directions with killings and changes of direction that seemed a bit hokey ("Dang! I forgot my briefcase!")
On the other hand, it was a fun book and a great way to see the styles of a wide variety of authors.
