Publisher's summary

After a shocking loss, Stone Barrington is at loose ends, unsure if he wants to stay in New York and continue his work as a partner at Woodman & Weld. It comes as a welcome relief when he's summoned to Washington, D.C., by President Will Lee. The president has a special operation that calls for Stone's unique skill set, and it's a mission that will reunite him with his former partner in crime and in bed, Holly Barker.

Stuart Woods really disappointed

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Terrible plot. Two "super" detectives are brought in to solve a crime, however, their main concern is who they are sleeping with each night with no real interest in solving the crime. Their major investment on the actual solving of the crime is making up scenarios that would pass as pausible so that they can go back to their hometowns. This was the worst book I've listened to (read) in many years.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

A huge disappointment. I used to like Stuart Woods but will now most certainly avoid him.

Any additional comments?

Don't waste a credit.
