The Expats

The Expats, Pavone's first novel, was a New York Times bestseller and an international bestseller. It was printed in twenty different languages. The Expats was released in March 2012, published 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".[3]

The Expats was a finalist for an L.A. Times Book Prize and won the 2013 Edgar Award for best first novel by an American author[4] It also won the 2013 Anthony Award for best first novel.
