Audible.com announces the release of The Chopin Manuscript --- a unique collaboration among 15 distinguished international thriller writers who came together to create a single audiobook with each author contributing a chapter to the ongoing story. Hailed as the first-ever serialized audiobook thriller, The Chopin Manuscript was featured in USA Today

Jeffery Deaver has created the book’s central character and put the plot in motion with the first chapter. From there the story was turned over to fourteen authors – including Lee Child, Lisa Scottoline, Joseph Finder, David Hewson, S.J. Rozan, and P.J. Parrish – who each wrote a chapter that propels the story along. Along the way, the plot takes twists and turns as each author puts his or her own imprint to the tale. Characters are added as the action moves around the world --- and the stakes get higher and higher. The book wraps with Deaver writing the final two chapters bringing The Chopin Manuscript to its explosive conclusion.

The plot:

Former war crimes investigator Harold Middleton possesses a priceless, previously-unknown manuscript by Frederic Chopin. Within the notes of this work, which was originally found and hidden by the Nazis during World War II, lies a secret that has left death in its wake – and could kill tens of thousands more. As Middleton races to unlock the mystery of the manuscript, he is accused of murder, pursued by federal agents and targeted by assassins. But the greatest threat comes from a man known only as Faust - a shadowy figure from Middleton’s past.

The Chopin Manuscript is narrated by actor Alfred Molina, whose film credits include Spiderman 2, Chocolat, Frida and The Da Vinci Code. Jim Fusilli edited The Chopin Manuscript.
