	Audiobook of the Year The Chopin Manuscript: A Serial Thriller, by Various Authors (Jeffery Deaver, Lee Child, Joseph Finder, Lisa Scottoline, David Hewson, and more) Narrated by Alfred Molina (Audible, Inc.) 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. Nominated Titles   Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K.

	Fiction Tallgrass, by Sandra Dallas Narrated by Lorelei King (Macmillan Audio) During Word War II, a family finds life turned upside down when the government opens a Japanese internment camp in their small Colorado town. After a young girl is murdered, all eyes (and suspicions) turn to the newcomers, the interlopers, the strangers. This is her town as Rennie Stroud has never seen it before. She has just turned thirteen and, until this time, life has pretty much been what her father told her it should be: predictable and fair. But now the winds of change are coming and, with them, a shift in her perspective. And Rennie will discover secrets that can destroy even the most sacred things.

This is the gruesome reality Detective Dave Robicheaux discovers as he is deployed to New Orleans. With the power grid of the city destroyed and the neighborhoods awash with looters and predators, New Orleans has been reduced to the level of a medieval society. There is no law, no order, and no sanctuary for the infirm, the helpless, and the innocent. Bodies float in the streets and lie impaled on the branches of flooded trees. In the midst of this apocalyptical nightmare, Robicheaux must find two serial rapists, a morphine-addicted priest, and a vigilante who may be more dangerous than the criminals looting the city.

	Thriller/Suspense Heart-Shaped Box, by Joe Hill Narrated by Stephen Lang (HarperAudio) Judas Coyne was a collector of the bizarre, the uncanny, and the grotesque: a cookbook for cannibals, a used hangman's noose, a snuff film. Many of these objects were gifts from the fans who made his metal band legendary-but not all. When his personal assistant told him there was a ghost for sale on the Internet, Jude knew he had to have it for his private collection. He should have thought twice. Jude has spent a lifetime evading ghosts-of an abusive father, of the bandmates he betrayed, of Anna, the suicidal girl he loved and abandoned. But this spirit is different. This one means to chase him to the edge of sanity. His new acquisition, delivered to his doorstep in a black heart-shaped box, is the restless soul of Anna's vengeful stepdaddy. Soon, everywhere Jude turns, Craddock is there, waiting…with a gleaming razor blade on a chain dangling from one bony hand.
