The Goodbye Man

“Jeffery Deaver has more ideas for getting people in and out of tight spots than Carter has liver pills.”—New York Times Book Review

One of Bookpage‘s “Most Anticipated Mysteries and Thrillers” of 2020

“[An] outstanding sequel to 2019’s The Never Game…Deaver balances suspense and plausibility perfectly…This is a perfect jumping-on point for readers new to one of today’s top contemporary thrillers writers.”—Publishers Weekly (starred)

“The second Colter Shaw novel is even better than the first … It’s no surprise that the story has a lot of moving parts and just the right amount of twists and turns (Deaver’s reputation as a master of the corkscrewing plot is well earned), and fans of the author’s Lincoln Rhyme and Kathryn Dance novels will note the same attention to character construction and natural-sounding dialogue here. Colter Shaw seems certain to become an enduring series lead.”—Booklist (starred)

“The Goodbye Man features Deaver at his level best, wielding his computer keyboard like a magic wand to dazzle us. This is superb thriller writing, as compulsively readable as it is masterfully structured.”—Milford Daily News

“[A] gripping and ingenious tale of greed and deception in the American wilderness”—The Times (UK)
