Reed Arvin

Critical Praise:

"A rare achievement— THE LAST GOODBYE is a first-rate thriller that works both as an airplane read and as a serious novel. THE LAST GOODBYE has depth, original characters and plot twists that truly surprise."

—Phillip Margolin, author of TIES THAT BIND

"THE LAST GOODBYE is the best thing a thriller can be: suspenseful, intelligent and well-written. Reed Arvin is the real deal."

—Harlan Coben, author of NO SECOND CHANCE

"I was moved by this gritty, romantic thriller. It's a heartbreaking love song to modern Atlanta - its tragedies, its promises, its failure, its dreams. THE LAST GOODBYE is magnolias and humidity, yet it's also crime and redemption. I've never met Reed Arvin, but I'd be proud to claim him as kin."

—Margaret Maron, author of LAST LESSONS OF SUMMER

"Its not Grisham that Arvin should be compared to, but the incomparable John D. MacDonald. Those readers who value intelligence, fine writing and action will find it all in this outstanding novel."

—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review, December 8, 2003

"Arvin's first legal thriller, The Will, generated excellent reviews. His second just might kick him to a whole new level, critically and commercially. He presents love, sex, money, power, and violence in an irresistibly melancholy noir package in which redemption is the motive but hell beckons at every turn."

—Booklist, Starred Review, January 1, 2004

"Genre fans will find as irresistible as a call from the grave for revenge."

—Kirkus Reviews, January 1, 2004
