The Expats

The international thriller that Patricia Cornwell says is "bristling with suspense" about an American abroad who finds herself in a complex web of intrigue.

Kate Moore is a working mother, struggling to make ends meet, raise children, keep a spark in her marriage, and maintain an increasingly unbearable life-defining secret. When her husband is offered a lucrative job in Luxembourg, she seizes the opportunity to leave her double life behind and start anew.

She begins to reinvent herself as an expat, navigating a language she doesn't speak, managing domestic chores, and trying to find her place. Meanwhile, her husband works tirelessly at a job Kate has never understood, with a banking client she's not allowed to know; he becomes distant and evasive, and she feels lonely and bored.

Suspicious of a new American couple, Kate fears her past is catching up with her, leading her to investigate. She uncovers fake offices, shell corporations, a hidden gun, a mysterious farmhouse, and numbered accounts with large sums of money, unraveling a long-play con that endangers her family, marriage, and life.
