Chris Pavone’s classy, insightful thrillers are as interested in the inner workings of their characters as they are in feats of derring-do, and his next book is rightfully being called his “most ambitious book yet.” A one-day-in-the-city type of story, The Doorman hinges upon Chicky Diaz, the titular guardian of New York City’s Bohemia apartment building, but broadens its scope to encompass all the citizens of the Bohemia, from the penthouse inhabitants to the other staff members. As racial tensions erupt in the city after the police kill an unarmed Black man, all of them will be affected—and not all of them will survive.
