Tonight I Said Goodbye

Tonight I Said Goodbye by Michael Koryta is a gripping detective novel that kicks off the Lincoln Perry series with a powerful mix of suspense, mystery, and emotional realism. The story follows private investigators Lincoln Perry and Joe Pritchard as they are hired to probe the suspicious death of Wayne Weston, a fellow investigator found dead in what appears to be a murder-suicide. But as the partners dig deeper, nothing adds up—the evidence suggests a far darker truth lurking beneath the surface.

Set in Cleveland’s shadowy underworld, Koryta’s debut novel thrives on sharp dialogue, vivid atmosphere, and unpredictable twists. Perry, a tough, witty ex-cop with a moral code, navigates a maze of deception, mob ties, and corruption as he uncovers secrets that endanger everyone involved. Every page pulses with tension, making readers question who to trust and how far justice should go.
