THE TRAVELERS

Chris Pavone

The pulse-racing new thriller from the internationally bestselling author of The Expats and The Accident, with more than 700,000 copies sold worldwide • Lead title for Crown for March 2016 • Chris Pavone is a winner of Edgar and Anthony awards for Best First Novel

Will Rhodes enjoys an agreeable lifestyle as a globetrotting writer for the New York-based Travelers magazine. But his way of life is threatened when he is honeytrapped by a spy, Elle, who offers a deal in return for not revealing their fling to his wife — he will continue sampling luxury holidays, but earn extra by briefing the CIA on the powerful or crooked people he meets. But why are the CIA less interested in his foreign travels than in the magazine he works for?

Will's bad choices—and dark secrets—soon take him across Europe, from a chateau in Bordeaux to a midnight raid on a Paris mansion, from a dive bar in Dublin to a mega-yacht in the Mediterranean and an isolated cabin perched on the rugged cliffs of Iceland. As he's drawn further into a tangled web of international intrigue, it becomes clear that nothing about Will Rhodes was ever ordinary, 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.

Chris Pavone is the New York Times bestselling author of The Expats and The Accident. He is the winner of the Edgar and Anthony awards for best first novel. He was a book editor for nearly two decades and lives in New York City with his family.

The Travelers combines Pavone's trademark Swiss-watch plotting with warm and human characters caught up in a deadly scenario that gets plausibly and inevitably more dangerous as each page turns. It's hard to believe this is only Pavone's third book – he's already an automatic must-read for me. -- Lee Child

...an unlikely but successful mix of Gone Girl and John Le Carré.

With its intricate plot pinballing down dual, occasionally criss-crossing tracks, the story offers plenty of page-turning action in exotic locales

well-written—and plenty entertaining

I love Chris Pavone's writing, it's smart and elegant and brilliantly intertwines intrigue with menace. - Peter James, bestselling crime writer in the UK and chairman of the Harrowgate Crime Festival
