This book was recommended to me by a trusted source. The source was right. I was not familiar with the writings of Chris Pavone, but now I am a fan. The Expats is set in Luxembourg, primarily, but takes the reader to Paris, Geneva, New York City and Washington, D.C. The primary “good guys” are …

You have heard the cliché “Never judge a book by its cover!” Thank goodness I did. I saw the cover at a recent writers conference. It had a couple of icons that I recognized– Big Ben in London, WWII aircraft and a woman dressed as a WWII spy. In the cover copy, I saw the …
