Chris Pavone writes thrillers about the lies people tell and the secrets they keep. The Expats (2012), his debut, followed an American woman abroad who realizes her seemingly normal life is built on deception. The book won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel and established Pavone as a major voice in contemporary suspense fiction.
His subsequent novels, including The Accident, The Travelers, and Two Nights in Lisbon, continue exploring themes of identity, trust, and international intrigue. Each book constructs an elaborate web of secrets that its protagonist must untangle, often in glamorous European settings that hide real danger. The Doorman (2025) is his most recent novel. Before fiction, Pavone worked in cookbook publishing, producing The Wine Log (1999).
