Chris Pavone Ordine dei libri (cronologico)
Chris Pavone crea thriller intricati che approfondiscono le complessità dell'identità e dell'intrigo internazionale. Le sue opere, spesso ambientate in scenari esteri, esplorano fino a che punto gli individui arriveranno per proteggere i loro segreti e le loro famiglie. Pavone costruisce magistralmente la suspense, utilizzando ambientazioni suggestive per esaltare i suoi temi di sfiducia e tradimento. La sua scrittura è avvincente e offre ai lettori narrazioni che sfidano le percezioni di verità e lealtà.

Chicky, der Portier des Bohemian, hat immer ein Lächeln auf den Lippen, ist nie krank, kommt immer pünktlich und lässt sich auch von den unhöflichsten Bewohner*innen des luxuriösen Gebäudes in der Central Park West in Manhattan nicht aus der Ruhe bringen. Im Apartment 11C-D wohnt Emily Longworth: Sie hatte ihren absurd reichen Ehemann schon gehasst, lange bevor sie Details über seine schmutzigen Geschäfte kannte, könnte die finanziellen Konsequenzen einer Scheidung aber nicht ertragen. Der Kunsthändler Julian Sonnenberg aus 2A sieht sich mit seinen fünfzig Jahren nicht nur mit dem Absturz in die gesellschaftliche Irrelevanz konfrontiert; auch seine Kinder, inzwischen Teenager, brauchen ihn nicht mehr. Außerhalb des Bohemian brennt unterdessen die Stadt: Nachdem erneut zwei Schwarze durch Polizeigewalt gestorben sind, kochen heftige Proteste hoch. Chicky steht, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, auf der Schwelle zwischen den Welten. Doch das ist nicht der Grund, warum er in dieser Nachtschicht – zum ersten Mal in achtundzwanzig Jahren – eine Waffe trägt.
Die zentrale Frage des Buches dreht sich um die moralischen Grenzen und Entscheidungen in extremen Situationen. Die Protagonisten sehen sich mit herausfordernden Umständen konfrontiert, die sie zwingen, über ihre Werte und Loyalitäten nachzudenken. Ihre Entscheidungen haben weitreichende Konsequenzen, die nicht nur ihr eigenes Leben, sondern auch das Schicksal anderer beeinflussen. Das Werk thematisiert Mut, Opferbereitschaft und die Suche nach dem richtigen Weg in einer Welt voller Unsicherheiten.

A woman wakes up to discover her new husband is missing and sets out on a wild race of power, politics, and revenge.
"Pavone's sturdy sequel to 2012's The Expats finds Kate and Dexter Moore living in Paris with their young sons. Dexter, a semi-reformed cybercriminal, now earns his money day trading, and Kate, a former CIA officer, works for an off-book intelligence outfit tasked with making the world "more hospitable" for the U.S. and its interests. Kate hasn't received a new assignment in some time, so when news breaks of bomb threats in multiple locations, and a man in an explosive vest entering the Louvre, she decides to prove her continued relevance by investigating. Meanwhile, Dexter makes a risky investment that hinges on an announcement from his former boss, Hunter Forsyth, regarding the acquisition of a European competitor. Then authorities sequester Hunter for security reasons, jeopardizing both men's plans for profit."--Provided by publisher.
From Edgar Award-winning Chris Pavone, author of the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller The Expats, comes a riveting time-bomb of a thriller (fans of The Expats will be excited to see a few characters from Pavone's first book pop up here as well).
