Jenn Corbin, a lovely, slim, brown-eyed blonde, appeared to
have it all: two dear little boys, a posh home in one of
the upscale suburbs of Atlanta, expensive cars, a plush
houseboat, and a husband -- Dr. Bart Corbin, a successful
dentist -- who was tall, handsome, and brilliant. But
gradually their seemingly idyllic life together began to
crumble. There was talk of seeing a marriage counselor.
Bart was distraught; Jenn seemed disenchanted. She needed
to reach out to someone she could confide in -- beyond her
mother and her sisters. Then, just a few weeks before
Christmas 2004, Jenn was found dead with a bullet in her
head, a revolver beside her. From the position of the body
her death appeared to be a suicide. But Gwinnett County
detective Marcus Head was not totally convinced, nor was
Jenn's family, who could not believe she would take her own
life. And how was this death related to another apparent
suicide fourteen years earlier -- that of Dorothy "Dolly"
Hearn, a spectacularly beautiful dental student? A star
athlete and homecoming queen in high school, Dolly later
dated Bart Corbin in dental school. Was there a connection,
or was the answer to be found in a secret -- even
dangerous -- relationship Jenn Corbin was having outside
her marriage? For Too Late to Say Goodbye, Ann Rule has
interviewed virtually everyone in any way related to the
story -- the victims' families, police investigators,
prosecutors, and sources from Georgia to Australia -- to
uncover the truth behind the headlines of these two
sensational deaths. What emerges is an incredible tale of
jealous rage; of stunning circumstantial and physical
evidence that runs from the steamy to the macabre to almost-
unheard-of forensic techniques; and of a tragic irony -- a
fateful discovery that motivated the killing. The
definitive unraveling of one of the strangest murder
investigations of our time, Too Late to Say Goodbye is
perhaps the finest achievement of a truly great writer's
career.
