Produktbeschreibung

'Smart, twisty, and sharply written, The Doorman is hard to put down and harder to forget. A delight.' KARIN SLAUGHTER, Sunday Times bestselling author The new electrifying thriller from the New York Times bestseller and master of the shock ending. Chicky Diaz is everyone's favourite doorman at the Bohemia, New York City's world-famous home of celebrities, financiers, and the cultural elite. In the basement staff room, the life-and-death stakes of daily life are hardly news to the primarily Black and Latino hospitality. So, when the NYPD fatally shoots an unarmed Black man and the streets swell with both protestors and counter protestors, the staff's concerns are less about the building or its residents and more about their survival – and what justice will look like. As tensions escalate, Chicky mans the line between the turbulence outside and the oblivious residents living within. But Chicky has his own problems, the kind that have led him to carry a gun on tonight's shift for the first time in thirty years. Because tonight, someone is going to die. A piercing portrait of the way we live now that is also a finely-honed thriller of ticking-clock suspense, The Doorman is about class and privilege in a city poised to boil over, and the ever-starker divisions testing everything New York City likes to believe about itself. Praise for Two Nights in Lisbon: 'This is smart suspense at its very best.' John Grisham 'Timely, important, layered with ticking suspense.' Lee Child 'The finest thriller I've read in a very long time... This is sophisticated, of-the-moment suspense of the highest order.' C.M. Ewan 'Intelligent, utterly compelling and deeply satisfying.' Peter James 'Pavone has become one of the most skilled creators of menace and suspense in the world.' Daily Mail 'As close to unputdownable as you can get.' Stephen King

Rezensionen

"Sensationally good, wise, wry and perceptive - this era's great state-of-the-city novel, up there with the very best of Tom Wolfe and Jay McInerney."
-Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher novels

"Smart, twisty, and sharply written, The Doorman is hard to put down and harder to forget. A delight."
-Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 international bestselling author of This is Why We Lied

"Like the New York City subway, Chris Pavone's novel moves at breakneck speed, twisting and turning, jostling together those who might otherwise live worlds apart, intertwining their secrets, their private heartaches, and their fates as The Doorman hurdles to its shocking conclusion."
-Jenny Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street

"Chris Pavone swings big with The Doorman, a wise, expansive, and extravagantly readable thriller that keeps us guessing until the last page. A searing and hilarious social satire, Pavone unflinchingly takes on New York in this moment- class, race, social justice-with an eye as wicked as it is compassionate."
-Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go , Bernadette

"In this superb novel, Chris Pavone artfully blends the murk and glitter of Manhattan, both rich and poor, into one combustible tale of greed, lust, and crime. An irresistible read that captures, in personal terms, this terribly fraught moment in our nation's cultural politics."
-Ron Chernow, author of Alexander Hamilton
