The Doorman de Chris Pavone

The Doorman

Autor Chris Pavone
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 apr 2026

Named one of the Best Thrillers and a Notable Book of 2025 by the New York Times

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 favorite doorman at the Bohemia, the most famous apartment house in the world, home of celebrities, financiers, and New York's cultural elite.

Up in the penthouse, Emily Longworth has the perfect-looking everything, all except her husband, whom she'd quietly loathed even before the recent revelations about where all the money comes from. But his wealth is immense, their prenup is iron-clad, and Emily can't bring herself to leave him. Yet.

And downstairs in 2A, Julian Sonnenberg-who has carved himself a successful niche in the art world, and led a good half-century of a full and satisfying, cosmopolitan life-has just received a devastating phone call that does nothing at all to alleviate his sense that, probably for better and worse, he has aged out and he's just not that useful to anyone any more.

Meanwhile, gathered in the Bohemia's bowels, the building's almost entirely Black and Hispanic, working-class staff is taking in the news that that just a few miles uptown, a Black man has been killed by the police, leading to a demonstration, a counterdemonstration, and a long night of violence across the tinderbox city.

As Chicky changes into his uniform for tonight's shift, he finds himself breaking a cardinal rule of the job: tonight, he'll be carrying a gun, bought only hours earlier, but before he knew of the pandemonium taking over the city. Chicky knows that there's more going on in his patch of sidewalk in front of the Bohemia than anyone's aware of. Tonight in the city, enemies will clash, loyalties will be tested, secrets will be revealed-and lives will be lost.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Sensationally good.' LEE CHILD
'The kind of novel that wins book awards.' STEPHEN KING

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

Recenzii

Sensationally good, wise, wry and perceptive - this era's great state-of-the-city novel, up there with the very best of Tom Wolfe and Jay McInerney.
Smart, twisty, and sharply written, The Doorman is hard to put down and harder to forget. A delight.
Like the New York City subway, 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.
Delivers a lacerating, Tom Wolfe-worthy dissection of Manhattan society in the post-Covid era... Page-turning from the opening paragraph to its killer finale
A near perfect blend of clever plotting, wicked social commentary, irresistible setting, truly memorable characters, and old-fashioned page-turning fun.
Chris Pavone has always been good, but this novel is way better than good. The kind of novel that wins book awards. Cynical, tender, sharp, dense, funny, and loaded with inside dope about how New York works (and how it doesn't). The Doorman is a Bonfire of the Vanities for the 21st century. He gives it to both sides of the culture wars, and with both smoking barrels.
A state-of-the-city novel, a kaleidoscopic portrait of New York at a singularly strange moment.With its laser-sharp satire, its delicious set pieces in both rich and poor neighbourhood. and its portrait of a restive city torn apart by inequality, resentment and excess, The Doorman naturally invites comparison to The Bonfire of the Vanities. With his eye for absurdity and ear for nuance, he seems as if he's writing not from some elevated place high above the city, but from within it. all of it accelerates into a tour de force ending.
Invites comparison to The Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe's lacerating dissection of New York in the 1980s.
A novel about power, sex and murder, very much in the mould of Harlan Coben and Tom Wolfe
It's beautifully written, a state-of the-nation novel that is also about recognisably real individual characters and which becomes, in its second act, a nerve-shredding thriller.
The societal and political aspects of the thriller never distract from its compelling events and make this both a novel for the ages and a wonderful page turner.
A tightly woven suspenseful tale, questioning what we understand and what we know about the people around us... Original and challenging, a top read
