Good People





If you found $400,000 for the taking - could you just walk away?

Tom and Anna Reed want a family. But years of unsuccessful infertility treatments have left them in debt and bereft.

Then one night everything changes.

The tenant in the flat below them has passed away, leaving $400,000 in cash. All they have to do is take the money and all of their problems will be solved.

But their decision puts them in the path of some ruthless men. Men who have been double-crossed and want revenge.

Good people are about to meet bad...

Praise for Good People

Good People is gleefully dread-filled, mercilessly tense, and moves with the speed of something fired from a sawed-off. Based on his first three novels, one can't help but feel Marcus Sakey is exactly the electric jolt American crime fiction needs

Dennis Lehane

A brainy, twisty, sometimes twisted mystery

Gillian Flynn, author of GONE GIRL

Dark, disturbing and timely

Laura Lipmann

Marcus Sakey's got it all. He writes like a dream, he creates characters exactly like people you know, he scares you, and above all keeps you turning the pages.
