The Danny Barrett series by Ron Corbett is a crime fiction series that began with The Sweet Goodbye in 2022. The second book, Cape Rage, followed in 2024. Like Corbett’s earlier Frank Yakabuski novels, the Danny Barrett books are set in the kind of remote northern communities that the author knows well from his career as a journalist in the Ottawa Valley.
The Sweet Goodbye takes place in a lumber town and deals with an undercover FBI agent sent to investigate the powerful family that controls the local timber trade. Corbett brings the same feel for isolated, weather-beaten settings that made the Yakabuski books popular with readers who like their crime fiction set far from big cities.
