    About Good People

    The basis for the hit movie starring James Franco and Kate Hudson
    A thriller by the author of the Brilliance Saga and The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes
    “Good People [is] gleefully dread-filled, mercilessly tense, and moves with the speed of something fired from a sawed-off.”—Dennis Lehane

    Tom and Anna Reed are young, middle-class, and in love.  But financial pressures and the struggle to have a baby are grinding them down. So when they find $370,000 in their tenant’s apartment, “happily ever after” seems one risky decision away.
    But before the week is over, they’ll know exactly where the money is from—and come face to face with ruthless men who have been double-crossed.  Men who won’t stop until they get revenge. 
    Nothing in life is free, and for Tom and Anna, happiness may cost more than they can bear to pay…

    About Good People

    Good people – caught in a bad place …

    When Tom and Anna Reed find $370,000 in their house one night it seems as if all their problems are solved. But what they can’t quite wrap their minds around is that nothing in this life is free. Before the week is over they’ll know exactly where that $370,000 came from-and come face to face with the brutal truth that in order to save your own life, sometimes you have to destroy your dreams…
