About this audiobook
Bloomsbury presents The Doorman by Chris Pavone, read by Edoardo Ballerini.
'Sensationally good.' LEE CHILD
A pulse-pounding novel of class, privilege, sex, and murder, from the New York Times bestselling author of Two Nights in Lisbon and The Expats.
Chicky Diaz is everyone’s favourite doorman at the Bohemia, New York City’s world-famous home of celebrities, financiers, and the cultural elite.
Gathered in the Bohemia’s basement, the almost entirely Black and Hispanic staff is reeling. Just a few miles away, a Black man has been killed by the police, leading to a long night of violence across the city.
But the rising tensions aren’t what most concern Chicky. He knows that there’s more going on within the rooms of the Bohemia than anyone’s aware of. In fact, ahead of tonight’s shift, he bought a gun even before he knew of the rising pandemonium.
Tonight, enemies will clash, loyalties will be tested, secrets will be revealed – and lives will be lost.
New York City is a tinderbox – just one more spark and it will go up in flames...
'Smart, twisty, and sharply written, The Doorman is hard to put down and harder to forget. A delight.' KARIN SLAUGHTER, Sunday Times bestselling author
'Chris Pavone’s novel moves at breakneck speed, twisting and turning, jostling together those who might otherwise live worlds apart, intertwining their secrets, their private heartaches, and their fates as The Doorman hurdles to its shocking conclusion.' JENNY JACKSON, New York Times bestselling author
