Summary
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE EXPATS
‘A serpentine, sharp-edged thriller.’ DAILY MAIL
‘Gripping.’ MICHAEL CONNELLY
‘Unputdownable.’ NEW YORK TIMES
Isabel Reed, a powerful New York literary agent, receives a manuscript. Anonymously hand-delivered, the manuscript is full of shocking revelations linked to an old car accident – truths which could compromise national security. Could this be the book of her career?
In Copenhagen, Hayden Gray, a veteran station chief, is 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, and the manuscript leaves a trail of bodies in its wake, the nameless author watches on from afar. . .

Critic Reviews
Chris Pavone is the new best thing. The Accident proves the promise of The Expats. It is as intelligent and timely as it is relentless and gripping. Pavone is going to be around for a long time and now is the time to jump on the train.
Critic Reviews
Unputdownable ... Pavone [is] a reliable new must-read in the world of thrillers.
Critic Reviews
A propulsive A-train of a thrill ride and [a] worthy successor to Pavone's debut, destined to make readers as compelled to turn its pages as Isabel and her colleagues are to publish the manuscript that spawned it.
Critic Reviews
A fast-paced, twisting, smart follow-up to The Expats. Cleverly plotted, filled with surprises, a terrific read.
Critic Reviews
A dizzyingly good follow-up to The Expats. The dark eruption of long-buried secrets, complex betrayals further snagged by sex and greed, and eleventh-hour desperate gambits for reinvention all propel a whirlwind story that will keep you up way past your bedtime. Crafty, stylish, satisfying.
