Actress Reese Witherspoon will release her first novel with co-writer Harlan Coben this month.
The Legally Blonde star will add another string to her bow as she enters the publishing world as a debut author.
Witherspoon has long been involved in the bookish world, with the actress running Reese's Book Club.
She has also been involved in the screen adaptations of many novels, including Daisy Jones & The Six, From Scratch, and Little Fires Everywhere.
There are high hopes for Witherspoon's first novel, but she has co-written the book with Harlan Coben, so we know it's going to be something special.
Gone Before Goodbye is the unforgettable story of an indomitable woman, trapped in a conspiracy she helped create but can’t understand.
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, which led to her medical license being revoked, Maggie has lost her purpose, but not her nerve or her passion. At her lowest point, she is thrown a lifeline by a former colleague, an elite plastic surgeon whose anonymous clientele demand the best care money can buy, as well as absolute discretion.
Halfway across the globe, sequestered in the lap of luxury and cutting-edge technology, one of the world’s most mysterious men requires unconventional medical assistance. 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.
