NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the renowned author of The Accident, “a pulse-pounding spy novel mixed with the delicate dissection of a marriage” ( USA Today ) “Smart, clever suspense, skillfully plotted, and a lot of fun to read.”—John Grisham EDGAR AWARD WINNER • ANTHONY AWARD WINNER Can we ever escape our secrets? In the cobblestoned streets of Luxembourg, Kate Moore’s days are filled with playdates and coffee mornings, her weekends spent in Paris and skiing in the Alps. But Kate is also guarding a tremendous, life-defining secret—one that’s become so unbearable that it begins to unravel her newly established expat life. She suspects that another American couple are not who they claim to be; her husband is acting suspiciously; and as she travels around Europe, she finds herself looking over her shoulder, increasingly terrified that her own past is catching up with her. As Kate beings to dig, to uncover the secrets of the people around her, she finds herself buried in layers of deceit so thick they threaten her family, her marriage, and her life. Hailed by The New York Times as “smartly executed [and] thoroughly captivating,” The Expats proves Chris Pavone to be a writer of tremendous talent.
