Creativity and suspense
Ariel Pryce wakes up in Lisbon, alone, as her husband is gone- no warning, no note, note answering his phone, something is wrong. She starts with hotel security, then the police, then the American Embassy, at each confronting question she can’t fully answer what exactly is John doing in Lisbon? Why would he drag her along on his business trip? Who would want to harm him? And why does Ariel know so little about her new – much younger – husband? As the clock is ticking Ariel is increasingly frustrated and desperate, running out of time, and the one person in the world who can help is the one person she least wants to ask. Chris Pavone from Brooklyn, with his razor-sharp insights, delivers a stunning and sophisticated international riveting intricately plotted thriller that will linger long after the surprising final page. An immersive tour of a fascinating city and culture, writing with a deep knowledge of the world we live in – its many injustices, flaws, and the bending, dangerous road we sometimes must take to justice.
