Maggie McCabe is teetering on the brink. A highly skilled and renowned Army combat surgeon, she has always lived life at the edge, where she could make the most impact. And it was all going to plan ... until it wasn’t.
Upside down after a devastating series of tragedies leads to her medical license being revoked, Maggie has lost her purpose, but not her nerve or her passion.

Desperate, and one of the few surgeons in the world skilled enough to take this job, Maggie enters his realm of unspeakable opulence and fulfills her end of the agreement. But when the patient suddenly disappears while still under her care, Maggie must become a fugitive herself—or she will be the next one who is ... Gone Before Goodbye
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Reese Witherspoon has written children’s books and non-fiction, but this is her first novel, so she partnered with the best: best-selling author Harlan Coben. In their suspenseful thriller, a doctor finds out some mistakes can be fatal—for her. Army field surgeon Maggie McCabe is a formidable soldier and medical magician, but she gets the rug pulled from under her when she loses both her husband and her licence. At her lowest point, Dr. Evan Barlow offers her a fresh start with his highly secretive, not-necessarily-legal practice catering to wealthy clients. She’s discombobulated enough to entertain the idea, but when things go south, she ends up running for her life. A top-tier talent like Witherspoon voicing Maggie is a huge plus in itself; the fact that she’s delivering her own prose makes it even better. She expertly navigates every part of Maggie’s intensely emotional journey—fear, sadness, anger—making each moment resonate. Chris Pine brings a gritty gravitas to Marc, Maggie’s husband, staying understated yet commanding even in his most explosive moments, and the rest of the crackerjack cast fleshes out the other characters. Witherspoon and Coben’s thriller piles on the suspense right up until the moment the final secrets are revealed.
