A haunted, vulnerable detective. A wounded woman in danger. Someone is following Lauren Lewis. Is it her ex? Private detective Jimmy Riley told her back when they were lovers that if he ever decided to follow her, she’d never know he was there. With a secret to hide in a city exploding, Lauren keeps trying to tell Jimmy goodbye, but he’s the only man who can help her. And though it might destroy him, he doesn’t mind so much. Better to die than be told goodbye. Michael Lister writes some of the best hard-boiled prose going. Nothing short of amazing! Booklist Starred Review. Michael Lister delivers the goods like Tyson in his prime, hard, fast and beautiful kind of brutal. Gary Phillips *This book was originally published under the title THE BIG GOODBYE.
