“Ron Corbett’s dynamite new series debut…has a snappy voice, the action is perfectly paced...And it brims with heart and grit, always a winning combination.” —New York Times Book Review “If you crave an action-and-adventure-packed summer survival tale, this one’s for you.” —The Boston Globe “Like a marvelous piece of north country wood, The Sweet Goodbye has a luxurious grain and finish—not to say that Ron Corbett’s debut novel of FBI Agent Danny Barrett doesn’t have its share of warp and twists. This is the plank that’s going to set the platform for one fine crime series.” —Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire Mysteries “Small town secrets and big time corruption. The Sweet Goodbye is a throwback to the days of moody, flawed heroes and fun, complex bad guys. Compelling classic noir that plays out in a forgotten America.” —Ace Atkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Heathens and Robert B. Parker’s Bye Bye Baby. “From the opening line Corbett makes Barrett a distinctive figure, nuanced enough to carry multiple sequels, and goes on to humanize even some of the bad guys, no mean feat. Vivid and detailed descriptions of the Maine woods enhance the intricate plot."" —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
