Pavone follows up his best-selling novel, The Expats (2012), with another thriller featuring some of the same characters. The action here involves a manuscript entitled The Accident, which threatens to bring down a media empire owned by Charlie Wolfe, who now aspires to a political career. Almost everyone physically connected with the manuscript starts getting killed in Charlie's desperate attempt to quash this expose of his past. Pavone knows the formula for a best-seller and keeps the reader turning the pages.--Kirkus
