Goodbye to Me - by Naomi Rand (Paperback)

About the Book

Race against time with a feisty heroine with a kickass attitude through the streets of 1968 NYC in a tale where the murder is only the first thread of a secret everyone wants to keep buried.

Book Synopsis

It's May of '68 in New York City, and twenty-two-year-old Freddie Riley is cycling home from her job as a bike messenger, unaware that her life is about to be upended. She walks into her apartment to find a stranger, lying dead, and her foster mother, Yvette, bleeding out on the floor. Yvette whispers a cryptic message that sets Freddie and her best friend and secret crush, Celia, on the run, careening from gritty old Times Square to the glamorous Cary Grant suite at the Warwick.

Freddie unleashes her considerable street-smarts and ingenuity to keep them one step ahead of their relentless pursuers, with the hope they can solve the mystery of Yvette's murder before they both end up in serious, possibly deadly, trouble.

Race against time alongside a feisty heroine with a kickass attitude through the rough streets of 1968 New York City in a tale where the murder is only the first thread of a secret everyone wants to keep buried forever.

Review Quotes

"Sardonic, whip-smart, and unforgettable, Freddie Riley is one of those characters who is fully alive on the page. I loved being in the world of Naomi Rand's Goodbye to Me. The propulsive energy, humor, and heart made it impossible to put down." - Erin Khar, author of Strung Out

"At turns witty, suspenseful and devastatingly real, Goodbye to Me moves as quickly as Freddie Riley's messenger bike through the gritty streets of 1960s New York. I adored spending time with this fierce, funny, and flawed heroine as she emerges from a shocking loss and brings new meaning to the word, 'survivor.' A first-rate read." - USA Today and International bestselling Edgar Award winning author, Alison Gaylin
