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.

Lee Child

Smart, twisty, and sharply written, The Doorman is hard to put down and harder to forget. A delight.

Karin Slaughter

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.

Jenny Jackson

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

Publishers Weekly, starred review

A near perfect blend of clever plotting, wicked social commentary, irresistible setting, truly memorable characters, and old-fashioned page-turning fun.

John Grisham

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.
