Notes From Your Bookseller

One wrong move... and there's no turning back. Reese Witherspoon steps onto new thrilling terrain in this highly anticipated collab with the master of plot twists, Harlan Coben.

Combining the storytelling talents of Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben into one masterpiece of suspense fiction, Gone Before Goodbye is the unforgettable story of an indomitable woman, trapped in a conspiracy she helped create but can’t understand. Her harrowing search for the truth could expose a conspiracy woven throughout the exclusive world of the global ultra elite—but at an unfathomable cost to Maggie herself.

Maggie McCabe is teetering on the brink. A highly skilled and renowned Army combat surgeon, she has always lived life at the edge, where she could make the most impact. And it was all going to plan … until it wasn’t.

Upside down after a devastating series of tragedies leads to her medical license being revoked, Maggie has lost her purpose, but not her nerve or her passion. At her lowest point, she is thrown a lifeline by a former colleague, an elite plastic surgeon whose anonymous clientele demand the best care money can buy, as well as absolute discretion.

Halfway across the globe, sequestered in the lap of luxury and cutting-edge technology, 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 fulfills 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 …
