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).
Taking place over the course of twenty-four hours, The Accident
draws on the rich worlds of publishing, politics and international
spies to tell a suspenseful tale of intrigue in the vein of John
Grisham and Laura Lippman. In New York City, Isabel Reed, one of
the most respected and powerful literary agents in the city,
frantically turns the pages of a manuscript into the early dawn
hours. This manuscript - printed out, hand-delivered, totally
anonymous - is full of shocking revelations and disturbing truths
linked to a car accident that occurred years ago, things which
could compromise national security. Is this what she's been waiting
for her entire career: a book that will help her move on from a
painful past, a book that could save her beloved industry... a book
that will change the world? In Copenhagen, Hayden Gray, a veteran
station chief, wary of the CIA's obsession with the Middle East,
has been steadfastly monitoring the dangers that abound in Europe.
Even if his bosses aren't paying attention, he's determined to stay
vigilant. And he's also on the trail of this manuscript - and the
secrets that lie at its heart. For him, quite simply, it must never
see the light of day. As Isabel and Hayden try to outwit each
other, the nameless author watches on from afar. With no-one quite
sure who holds all the cards, the stakes couldn't be higher: in
just one day careers could be ruined, devastating secrets could be
unearthed, and innocent people could die. As the manuscript moves
from person to person, it leaves a trail of bodies in its wake.
Gripping, sophisticated, and impossible to put down, The Accident
is a masterful follow-up to one of the most acclaimed and striking
debut thrillers of recent years.
SUNDAY TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH 'Spectacular.' Mail on Sunday
'Top-tier.' New York Times The pulse-racing international thriller
of the year Meet Will Rhodes: travel writer, recently married,
barely solvent, his idealism rapidly giving way to disillusionment
and the worry that he's living the wrong life. Then one night in
Argentina a beautiful woman makes him an offer he can't refuse.
Soon Will's bad choices - and dark secrets - take him across
Europe, from a Bordeaux chateau to a midnight raid in Paris, from a
Dublin dive-bar to a mega-yacht in the Mediterranean and an
isolated cabin perched on the cliffs of Iceland. As Will is drawn
further into a tangled web of international intrigue, it becomes
clear that the network of deception ensnaring him is part of an
immense and deadly conspiracy with terrifying global implications -
and that the people closest to him may pose the greatest threat of
all. 'Continues his run of smart, elegant thrillers . . . written
with wit and charm as well as satirical brio.' Guardian 'It's hard
to believe this is only Pavone's third book - he's already an
automatic must-read for me.' LEE CHILD 'A successful mix of Gone
Girl and John Le Carre ... Events speed to a spectacular
denouement.' Mail on Sunday, Thriller of the Week

cunning and breakneck.' MEGAN ABBOTT 'Thriller writing at its
absolute best.' JEFFREY DEAVER 'Top-tier.' New York Times From the

pulse-pounding thriller which takes place over the course of one
nail-biting day. Kate Moore - a mother with an interesting past -
is living the quiet life in another European city, or trying to. On
her way to drop her children off at school in the city centre, the
cafes and streets of Paris start to come alive around her. Kate's
husband Dex, meanwhile, charged with finding a particular present
for their son's birthday, is struggling to focus on the job in hand
as a financial matter at work seems to be playing on his mind. As
worrying reports begin to circulate from key locations around the
city, and the sound of wailing sirens becomes increasingly hard to
ignore, could their day and, indeed, their lives be about to change
forever?
