The Travelers

“The Travelers does confirm what Mr. Pavone’s first two books have established: that when it comes to quick-witted, breathless thrillers that trot the globe, his are top-tier.”—The New York Times

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

“Wit, suspense, great scenery, and a cast of dozens propel this well-paced escapade to its (literal) cliff-hanging conclusion.”—The Wall Street Journal

“Pavone continues his run of smart, elegant thrillers with The Travelers.”—The Guardian

“Pavone established himself as a highly adept weaver of complicated tales of deceit and danger with an international backdrop and a seemingly innocent central character. This latest is his most effective to date.”—Financial Times

“Nobody brings the human aspect of the spy world into focus better than Pavone, and his stellar writing carries the day.”—Associated Press

“Sneaky, insightful and surprising, Pavone’s latest dazzles with its take on modern spycraft, with time for ruminations about the nature of work.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer

“Another high-octane thriller . . . with chapters set in Dublin, Iceland, Mendoza, and Paris that race along at dizzying speed, this book is all jet, no lag.”—Virtuoso Life

“The Travelers moves at a brisk pace as Pavone ratchets up the action-packed suspense and infuses his plot with a rich view of far-flung exotic locales . . . With insight and a bit of wry humor, The Travelers will have readers wondering just what does he do all day?”—Oline Cogdill, South Florida Sun Sentinel

“The Travelers puts Pavone’s excellent pacing on parade; it’s a fast, fun read, like binge-watching Alias.”—GQ

“Acclaimed thriller writer Chris Pavone seems to have another winner with The Travelers, a rock ’em–sock ’em adventure that takes readers from New York to exotic locales like Capri, Bordeaux, Paris, London, Argentina, Stockholm, Dublin, Edinburgh, and Luxembourg before it comes to a climax in the boondocks of Iceland. . . . The richly complicated plot keeps Rhodes (and readers) guessing until book’s end.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“[One] of the most intelligent thrillers of the year. Engaging, complex, fully fleshed characters with believable backstories and narrative depth and elegance to go along with suspense and derring-do.”—Booklist (starred review)

“With its intricate plot pinballing down dual, occasionally crisscrossing tracks, the story offers plenty of page-turning action in exotic locales.” —Publishers Weekly

“The Travelers combines Pavone’s trademark Swiss-watch plotting with warm and human characters caught up in a deadly scenario that gets plausibly and inevitably more dangerous as each page turns. It’s hard to believe this is only Pavone’s third book—he’s already an automatic must-read for me.”—Lee Child, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Make Me
