"Pavone's sturdy sequel to 2012's The Expats finds Kate and Dexter Moore living in Paris with their young sons. Dexter, a semi-reformed cybercriminal, now earns his money day trading, and Kate, a former CIA officer, works for an off-book intelligence outfit tasked with making the world "more hospitable" for the U.S. and its interests. Kate hasn't received a new assignment in some time, so when news breaks of bomb threats in multiple locations, and a man in an explosive vest entering the Louvre, she decides to prove her continued relevance by investigating. Meanwhile, Dexter makes a risky investment that hinges on an announcement from his former boss, Hunter Forsyth, regarding the acquisition of a European competitor. Then authorities sequester Hunter for security reasons, jeopardizing both men's plans for profit."--Provided by publisher.
