An interview with author Chris Pavone is presented. When asked about the evolution of the character Kate Moore in his book "The Expats" he said she was always the heroine of the book, but that when he started writing it, the book focused more on a strained marriage that was set in a close-knit expat community. He mentions the espionage-type scenes were imaginary and not based on spy-craft minutiae and admits that he hasn't read a lot of espionage fiction, except for books by John le Carré.
