What She Saw

fullDescription

A taut, stylish thriller set over the course of twenty-four hours in Paris—perfect for fans of Chris Pavone's The Expats and Olen Steinhauer's The Tourist.

The storied Hotel Chevalier on Paris' ritzy Right Bank hosts celebrities, dignitaries, and—for one night—Lana Gibson, an American woman who's escaped the monotony of her staid married life for a cultural jaunt to the City of Light. As long as she takes her meds, she promises herself, her heightened curiosity and manic elation will stay under control.
But when that curiosity leads her to the hotel's private elevator which serves only the ultra-elite penthouse Suite Imperial, she spies much more than plush carpets and gilt chandeliers: a young woman caught in the clutches of a threatening-looking older man. Unable to erase the image of the girl in danger from her mind, Lana alerts the police, plunging herself into a firestorm of intrigue and becoming a target.
As she engages in a cat-and-mouse game that plays out across the streets of Paris, it emerges that the older man is a prominent public figure, and the murky situation only offers more questions: Is he being set up? Who stands to gain the most from his downfall? Not knowing who has her best interests at heart, Lana will need to use every ounce of strength and guile as she races to discover the relationship between the truth and what she saw.
Set against the glittering city of Paris, What She Saw is a hypnotic, thoroughly compelling thriller that will leave readers guessing until the final pages.

     Irish author Stembridge (The Effect of Her) provides a satisfyingly twisty 24-hour thrill ride through the heart of contemporary Paris. Lana Gibson, an American living in Dublin, decides on a whim to fly to Paris, where she intends to see an art exhibition and not think too hard about an old lover living in the city. At the posh Hotel Le Chevalier, she talks to a beautiful woman in the bar. An hour later, the impulsive Lana slips into the hotel’s private elevator, which she knows goes up to a private suite. When the elevator doors open, she spots the woman from the bar resisting the advances of a naked older man. Lana takes photos with her cell phone before the doors close. The man turns out to be Jean-Luc Fournier, an important French politician, and Lana soon finds herself in big trouble. The secondary viewpoint of a frustrated small player in Fournier’s organization adds complexity and raises the tension. Agent: Gráinne Fox, Fletcher & Company.

     What Lana Gibson saw in an exclusive Paris hotel suite was more than just disturbing. The 35-year-old bipolar American woman, living with her executive husband in Dublin, is in a manic phase when she takes off on a whim for an overnight visit to Paris to see the definitive Edward Hopper exhibit there. When Lana finds an elevator used solely for her hotel's Suite Imperial, she can't resist nosing around until she gets a glimpse inside the suite, where she sees a sex party in full swing and a naked old man assaulting a beautiful, fully clad young woman. Appalled, Lana flees and tries to explain what she saw in a phone call to police. Thus begins a 24-hour whirlwind in which Lana discovers that she's become involved in French politics at the highest level, with her life at risk and her assessments of who she can trust repeatedly shaken. Irish writer and director Stembridge creates an indefatigable protagonist, emboldened and energized by her mania, in a chase through the vividly portrayed City of Light. A thoroughly entertaining mix of suspense and setting.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
