The basis for the hit movie starring James Franco and Kate Hudson
A thriller by the author of the Brilliance Saga and The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes
“Good People [is] gleefully dread-filled, mercilessly tense, and moves with the speed of something fired from a sawed-off.”—Dennis Lehane

Tom and Anna Reed are young, middle-class, and in love.  But financial pressures and the struggle to have a baby are grinding them down. So when they find $370,000 in their tenant’s apartment, “happily ever after” seems one risky decision away.
But before the week is over, they’ll know exactly where the money is from—and come face to face with ruthless men who have been double-crossed.  Men who won’t stop until they get revenge. 
Nothing in life is free, and for Tom and Anna, happiness may cost more than they can bear to pay…

Marcus Sakey's thrillers have been nominated for more than fifteen awards, named New York Times Editor's Picks, and selected among Esquire's Top 5 Books of The Year.  In addition to Good People, his novels Brilliance, The Blade Itself, and The Amateurs are all in development as feature films.
