WATCHLIST: Two Serial Thrillers in One Killer Book
Now available in paperback!
From the International Thriller Writers comes Watchlist: two powerful novellas featuring the same thrilling cast of characters in one major suspenseful package. The Chopin Manuscript and The Copper Bracelet are collaborations of some of the world’s greatest thriller writers, including Lee Child, Joseph Finder, Lisa Scottoline, and Jeffery Deaver, who conceived the characters and set the plots in motion. The other authors each wrote a chapter and Deaver then completed what he started, bringing both novellas to their startling conclusions.
“Entertaining and intriguing….the action is full-boil.” — USA Today
“A suspenseful, action-packed international thriller filled with plenty of twists and turns.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Watch videos with Jeffery Deaver, Gayle Lynds, Jim Fusilli, and David Corbett, and MJ Rose discussing what it was like to participate in the creation of this truly unique serial novel.
