Description
The best espionage novel I've read this year. Smart, sophisticated and suspenseful, this is Pavone's finest novel to date - and that's saying something. - Harlan Coben
The most clever plot twist of the year. - Washington Post
A deliciously twisty thriller ... This involving work has been skillfully engineered for maximum reader enjoyment. - Wall Street Journal
The Paris Diversion features Kate Moore, a mother with an interesting past, who is living the quiet life in another European city—or trying to. On her way to drop her children off at school in the city centre, the cafes and streets of Paris start to come alive around her.
Kate's husband, Dex, meanwhile, is charged with finding a particular present for their son's birthday. He is struggling to focus on the job in hand as a financial matter at work seems to be playing on his mind.
As worrying reports begin to circulate from key locations around the city, and the sound of wailing sirens becomes increasingly hard to ignore, could their day and, indeed, their lives be about to change forever?
