Goodreads asked Chris Pavone:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Chris Pavone When I visited Paris in 2016—the year after the Charlie Hebdo massacre and the horrifying November attacks, a city sieged by the expectation of more terrorism—I was immediately struck by the similarities to NYC after 9/11, when the whole city seemed to have PTSD, and the terror looked like it might be permanent. I wanted to write a book that would capture some of that anxiety, so familiar to me, so powerful.

How do you balance your own political leanings within a story in order to not offend half of your fans/audiences (since the US political voting group is closely split 50/50 liberal/conservative)?

Ellen

Ellen asked Chris Pavone:

How did you about a spy's daily routines. The people Kate had to hire, the scooter, the routes she tried to vary every day? If you were an expat you would know about the community and the frustrations of living in another country but you would not know about being a spy.
