Below the Belt

A Stone Barrington Novel

By: Stuart Woods

Narrated by: Tony Roberts

Stone Barrington lands in hot water in the new adventure from the celebrated author of more than 50 New York Times best-selling novels.

Newly ensconced in his Santa Fe abode with a lovely female companion, Stone Barrington receives a call from an old friend requesting a delicate favor. A situation has arisen that could escalate into an explosive quagmire, and only someone with Stone's stealth and subtlety can contain the damage. At the center of these events is an impressive gentleman whose star is on the rise and who'd like to get Stone in his corner. He's charming and ambitious and has friends in high places - the kind of man who seems to be a sure bet. But in the fickle circles of power, fortunes rise and fall on the turn of a dime, and it may turn out that Stone holds the key not just to one man's fate but to the fate of the nation.

Critic reviews

“Woods keeps the suspense high all the way to the dramatic conclusion.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Compulsively readable...[an] easy-reading page-turner.” (Booklist)

Surprise ending.

Typical Stone Barrington adventure. Great surprise ending!! Looks like Stone and Holly may yet get together.

Woods does it again!

Awesome as always. Rarely does a Stone Barrington novel fail to keep me riveted!

Unbelievable ☹️

Stuart, We are saddened by your latest book and by what we perceive as errors. First of all, no fbo or terminal is going to let a man go unaccompanied through the doors onto the tarmac. Secondly, no strategic services driver is going to miss being followed by two vehicles. And thirdly, Joan is too smart to have made such an error. These things are contrary to the reputations developed and solidified in all previous books. ☹️

Great sequel.

loved it, as usual. More Stone Barrington! He is my favorite character of Stuart Woods.

Thought I had read many Stone Barrington books but I guessed I missed quite a few. Enjoying them through audible immensely

stone does it again

as usual Stone survives to love another day, lol. Mr Woods writes cleanly and clearly.

best one yet,

best story I have heard in this collection. had me on the edge waiting to here what would happen next.

The best of all!

Having listened to the whole series of Stone Barrington books - I find this one of the best in the series!

Story of the shortest, worst presidential bid in U.S. history.

In his typically intriguing style, Stewart Woods presents as the beginning and end of the most profoundly Machiavellian

Intriguing

This was one of Woods best plots in a while. I love the combination of Stone Barrington and Tony Roberts it's always a treat! Good characters, very little sex and not terribly convoluted. I enjoyed it very much. I'm still rooting for Stone and Holly but I wonder what happened to Anne as a result of her boyfriend's death.
