Press release from the St. Louis County Library: May 31, 2022 St. Louis County Library and the JCC of St. Louis are pleased to host an SLCL Authors @ the J event with bestselling writer of international spy thrillers Chris Pavone for a discussion of his latest novel "Two Nights in Lisbon." Tuesday, June 7, at 7:00 p.m. at the JCC's Staenberg Family Center – Mirowitz Performing Arts Center, 2 Millstone Campus Drive, St. Louis, MO 63146. The program is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase at the event from Left Bank Books. Tautly wound and expertly crafted, "Two Nights in Lisbon" is a riveting thriller about a woman under pressure, and how far she will go when everything is on the line. "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 best."—#1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham Ariel Pryce wakes up in Lisbon, alone. Her husband is gone—no warning, no note, not answering his phone. Something is wrong. She starts with hotel security, then the police, then the American embassy, at each confronting questions she can't fully answer: What exactly is John doing in Lisbon? Why would he drag her along on his business trip? Who would want to harm him? And why does Ariel know so little about her new—much younger—husband? The clock is ticking. Ariel is increasingly frustrated and desperate, running out of time, and the one person in the world who can help is the one person she least wants to ask. With sparkling prose and razor-sharp insights, bestselling author Chris Pavone delivers a stunning and sophisticated international thriller that will linger long after the surprising final page. Chris Pavone is the author of four international thrillers, including the blockbuster hits "The Expats" and "The Paris Diversion." His novels have appeared on the bestseller lists of the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and IndieNext. He is a winner of both the Edgar and Anthony Awards for Best Thriller, and his work is currently in development for film and television. Program sites are accessible. With at least two weeks' notice, accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities. Call 314-994-3300 or contact us. This press release was produced by the St. Louis County Library.
