Über diesen Titel

 In this “deliciously twisty” (The Wall Street Journal) thriller with “the most clever plot twist of the year” (The Washington Post), expat Kate Moore discovers that a massive terror attack on Paris is not what it seems—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Doorman.

“[The Paris Diversion is] thriller writing at its absolute best . . . with echoes of Graham Greene and John le Carré.”—Jeffery Deaver

American expat Kate Moore drops her kids at the international school, makers her rounds of chores, and meets her husband Dexter at their regular café: a leisurely start to a normal day.

Across the Siene, tech CEO Hunter Forsyth stands on his balcony, wondering why his police escort just departed, and frustrated that his cell service has cut out.

And on the nearby rue de Rivoli, Mahmoud Khalid climbs out of an electrician’s van, elbows his way into the crowded courtyard of the world’s largest museum, and removes his windbreaker.

That’s when people start to scream. Internationale Krimis Krimis Politik & Spionage Spionage Thriller

Chris Pavone belongs to a newer breed of authors in the spy genre, like Olen Steinhauer, Charles Cumming, Paul Vidich and maybe Jack Grimwood. He writes for readers with a higher attention span. The plot in “Paris distraction” starts like many other novels with a terrorist threat. Yet it fast changes into another narrative. It is a complex but very well constructed plot, for me quite plausible. Pavone well knows of how a big heist in the 21st century could look like. As far as I can judge all the technical details are plausible, even if they don’t play a big role. As in his previous books Pavone shows he can create and sustain suspense. I had to force myself to stop listening to the audio book late in the evening and not to continue until dawn. Mozhan Marnò is a perfect narrator, her voice could be the voice of Kate, the protagonist of this book and “Expats”. Kate and Dexter and many more characters in this book are perfectly carved, interesting personalities with many layers. It is a pleasure to follow them. Pavone is obviously making use of his own experience as an expat in Europe. An interesting part of the book is the presence of the US although the book plays in France. The observations and reflections of the two protagonists in Europe say a lot about US Americans, what seems normal to them, what seems unusual or strange. America in the second decade of the 21st century is the elephant in the room in this book. This goes not only for small things but also on a bigger scale. In a previous review I compared Chris Pavone with John Le Carré. The “Paris distraction” reminded me of Graham Greene. In the “Quiet American” Greene tells a lot about Great Britain, while the book plays in Viet Nam. The background for the love and spy story in Viet Nam is Britain as a former super power. Pavones book has an America as a background where you need to attempt to become a millionaire to maintain a decent middle class live. Important and successful professions in this empire are warriors, bankers and thieves. In the “Paris distraction” we can see them at work. For some American readers, this book might look not sufficiently patriotic. That would be an unjust accusation in my eyes.
