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. The audiobook is read by AudioFile Golden Voice and Audie Award winning narrator January LaVoy.
"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

You think you know a person . . .
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.
A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus & Giroux

      Starred review from March 14, 2022
      A suspicious kidnapping in Lisbon, Portugal, drives this excellent thriller from Edgar winner Pavone (The Paris Diversion). When American businessman John Wright vanishes one morning from his hotel, his wife, Ariel Pryce, insists he was kidnapped, but issues soon emerge that make both the Lisbon police and the CIA skeptical. Why, for instance, are there no witnesses or video evidence of a crime taking place? Why did Pryce, whose account of the incident is fuzzy, change her legal name a decade earlier? And what’s to be made of Wright’s short stretch in the CIA a while back? When Pryce comes up with €2 million for a ransom payoff, the web leads investigators to the bank account of the current U.S. treasury secretary, who’s soon to become the U.S. vice president and has a past that could subject him to blackmail. Pavone skillfully layers plot details, often shifting points of view, all the way to the end of this superior, elegantly crafted yarn. The enigmatic central character, whose moral compass is set a bit differently than most, sets this above the pack. Agent: David Gernert, Gernert Company.

      The latest exciting, intricate thriller from Pavone (The Paris Diversion) is the tale of a woman now named Ariel Pryce, who awakens in Lisbon only to find her husband John missing. Ariel finds it nearly impossible to convince local police or American Embassy staff of his kidnapping until she receives a ransom request. She doesn't have two million Euros and must go to the man she hates the most for help; he is a man at the zenith of American politics, about to be named vice president, and had raped her 14 years earlier, resulting in the birth of her beloved son. Ariel convinces him to give her the needed funds in return for a nondisclosure agreement. Each twist and turn comes fast and furious, leaving the reader guessing the tantalizing truth. January LaVoy, AudioFile Golden Voice and Audie Award-winning narrator, is fantastic--she makes the listener loathe the CIA agents, sympathize with Ariel's increasingly chaotic circumstances, despise the hungry reporters, and wonder about John's sincerity. VERDICT While some will guess parts of the ending, getting there is great fun.--B. Allison Gray
