Summary

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.

Lee Child

BOOKLIST, Starred review
Critic Reviews

'The Travelers puts Pavone's excellent pacing on parade; it's a fast, fun read, like binge-watching Alias.'

GQ
Critic Reviews

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

PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY
Critic Reviews

A Hitchcockian thriller... [Pavone] brings on a full slate of characters, sharply etching their dress, their moves, their motives, all the while evoking the world they occupy.
