Publisher's summary

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 200,000,000 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?

Critic reviews

“Ron Corbett’s dynamite new series debut…has a snappy voice, the action is perfectly paced...And it brims with heart and grit, always a winning combination.”—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

Really, that's who??!!

Once I got accustomed to the jumps from character to character, (the voice changes were required!!) I had a number of suspects, each with a Great motive!

Great ‘new’ author

I have just discovered Ron Corbett’s books and after reading three books in his series set in the northern divide (Ontario/Quebec), I picked up The Sweet Goodbye. The first series is excellent. I’m not sure why it hasn’t been reviewed yet by others but I highly recommend it to those who appreciate good, tight writing, a setting that we don’t often read about, a great story with a strong protagonist. The Sweet Goodbye is set in northern Maine. Like the other books, it is quite violent but the plot is very good and the writing is strong and tight. I follow Shelley’s reviews faithfully (and Wayne’s) and have found so many great books from her recommendations. I think that this book would pique Shelley’s interest and would love to see her review it. Highly recommended.

The book is trash

I did not like the story, writing or narration . It made no sense at all.
