GONE BEFORE GOODBYE
by Harlan Coben and Reese Witherspoon (£22, HB, Cornerstone)
In the shadowy world of the ultra rich, danger lurks behind dazzling luxury. Having lost her licence after a series of tragedies, ex-army surgeon Maggie McCabe feels lost in the world. She accepts an offer from a former colleague to work for a billionaire who demands complete discretion, but this second chance could turn out to be lethal. When her patient vanishes, Maggie finds herself framed and hunted, and must become a fugitive to escape the clutches of the global elite. This thriller from Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben explores one woman's desperate search for the truth.
