| When expat Kate begins to travel around Europe, she finds herself buried in layers of deceit so thick they threaten her family, her marriage, and her life. Intricate, riveting, and surprising, this thriller is of the highest caliber. |

From the Publisher:
"An international spy thriller about a former CIA agent who moves with her family to Luxembourg where everything is suspicious and nothing is as it seems"-- |
Annotation:
Kate Moore seems just like everyone else in her Luxembourg social circle. Her days are filled with school drop-offs, children's play dates, and coffee socials with other expat moms; her weekends are spent skiing with her husband, Dexter, a banking-security consultant, or taking jaunts to Paris. Kate, however, is harboring a secret that even her husband doesn't know; she once worked as a CIA operative and assassin. She soon learns that Dexter might be keeping a secret of his own, and as their lives unravel in Luxembourg, Julia must call upon her former contacts for help. With a pair of untrustworthy FBI agents added to the mix, THE EXPATS contains enough plot twists and red herrings to keep even the most jaded thriller readers interested.

12/15/2011
"[This] is a stunningly assured first novel. Kate's character, her CIA experiences, and her new life are examined in granular detail, all of which helps drive an intricate, suspenseful plot that is only resolved in the final pages." (starred review)

"Mr. Pavone strengthens this book with a string of head-spinning revelations in its last pages, as layer after layer of deceit is peeled away. (Think of an onion.) The tireless scheming of all four principals truly exceeds all sane expectations."
