Goodbye Goliath is a detective mystery novel written by American Elliott Chaze, published by Scribner, New York in 1983.

[1] The New York Times said "besides being a traditional, cleverly plotted murder mystery, Goodbye Goliath is an accurate picture of how a small-town newspaper operates.

Mr. Chaze, himself a former city editor for a Mississippi paper, knows the ins and outs of the news room.

Yesterday (1984) and Little David (1985), a reviewer for The New Yorker described them as "good, down-home fun with much flavorful redneck talk...plenty of excitement too.
