I defy anyone to read the first twenty pages of this breakneck novel,then try to put it down for five minutes. This is smart suspense at its very bestI absolutely loved Chris Pavone's Two Nights in Lisbon,an unputdownable thriller that's his best novel yet. It stars a strong and savvy heroine who wakes up one morning to find her husband missing,and the action never lets up. This is a masterly,sleek,and sophisticated novel about love,marriage,and truth.
