Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

An unforgettable collaboration between an award-winning actress Reese Witherspoon and the and #1 international bestselling writer Harlan Coben.

Maggie McCabe is on the brink. A highly skilled and renowned army combat surgeon, she has always lived life on the edge.

But now, after a devastating series of personal tragedies, Maggie is thrown a lifeline by a former colleague, an elite surgeon whose anonymous clientele demand the best care money can buy - as well as absolute discretion.

Halfway across the globe, one of the world’s most mysterious men requires unconventional medical assistance. Desperate, and one of the few surgeons in the world skilled enough to take this job, Maggie enters his realm of unspeakable opulence and fulfils her end of the agreement.

But when the patient suddenly disappears while still under her care, Maggie must become a fugitive herself – or she will be the next one who is…

This starry collaboration goes full throttle into paranoia and power
The book’s plot mechanics hum along with great pace and verve . . . With Gone Before Goodbye, the two authors deliver a fun ride into a shadow land where the rich are convinced that money can insulate them from everything, including their own mortality — even if they have to murder a few people to get there.
This dream-team collab has smash hit written all over it!

I felt like a lot of book club picks had fallen short the past months. So thank you Reese and Harlan for delivering. It was gripping. Plot twists I didn’t see coming. You can tell Harlan Coben wrote it. It’s his standard feel. And it works. I listened to this in a day. So good.

Gripping, tense, finally a good one again

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The first Harlan Coben novel I don’t like. Far fetched, complicated plot, not logical unlike Missing You for example.

Disappointing Plot
