Synopsis

In this thrilling new series from Edgar®-nominated author Ron Corbett, the most dangerous predator in the Maine wilderness walks on two feet—and it is Danny Barrett's job to bring him down.

Something is not right in the North Maine Woods.
 
A small family-run lumber company should not have more than two hundred million unaccountable dollars on their books. Money like that comes from moving something other than wood across the border. 

The first agent the FBI sent undercover was their best man—sure to get the answers that were needed. He was dead within a month. 
 
Now, Danny Barrett is taking his place. Before he was a cop, Danny grew up in the woods of Northern Michigan. He is the only chance the feds have of getting answers, but how many more will have to die first?

Corbett then tells the story while allowing his charact......more

I might have found my newest favorite suspense writer; Corbett is up there with Sandford and Michael Connelly. Yes, this is crime fiction, but it’s really about what one will do for love. Highly recommend.......more

Goodreads review by Darcia on April 18, 2022

I have mixed feelings about The Sweet Goodbye, which is the first book in the new Danny Barrett series. Barrett’s character is interesting. He’s a little dark and brooding, a little edgy, a little dangerous. But he also has that inner nice guy thing going on. I enjoyed spending time with him. The sett......more

—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)
