"The Expats".
"The Expats", Pavone's first novel, was a "New York Times" bestseller. It was published in March 2012 by Crown. "The Observer" described the book as "expertly and intricately plotted, with a story spiralling into disaster and a satisfyingly huge amount of double crossing, [which] certainly doesn't feel like a first novel". "The Expats" won the 2013 Edgar Award for best first novel by an American author. It also won the 2013 Anthony Award for best first novel.
