Publisher's summary

Stuart Woods is in top form…and so is his perennially popular hero, Stone Barrington! When a hedge fund billionaire hires Stone Barrington to talk some sense into his wayward son, it seems like an easy enough job; no one knows the hidden sins and temptations of the ultra-wealthy better than Stone. But as Stone and his erstwhile protégé, Herbie Fisher, probe deeper into the case - and an old one comes back to haunt him - he realizes that even he may have underestimated just how far some people will go to cover up their crimes…and plan new ones.

Critic reviews

“Woods’s well-tested formula ensures that the action purrs along fueled by good food, good liquor, good sex, and plenty of wealth.” (Publishers Weekly)

A great actor, he does a great job playing all of the parts.

I enjoy listening to the books and appreciate the readers adding so much charisma to it all.
I recommend audible books to others so they can multi-task. Not everyone has the same thoughts as I do.

Another winner!

Would you consider the audio edition of Unnatural Acts to be better than the print version?

I can listen as I drive to and from work, giving me the opportunity to utilize this "down tine."

Who was your favorite character and why?

Barrington. He seems to fall into manure, but keeps coming up smelling like roses.

Stone

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Save your money

Too predictable even for Woods. He not only resurrected Herbie but elevated him to unbelievable heights.....

one of the best

I have read all the Stone Barrington books and I am hooked! This is the bestbecause of the growth of Herbie into a fine lawyer, dresser and good guy!! He inspires even me. The reader read in a way that had me cheering, laughing and gripping the seat!! It shows what happens when a slacker has a role model that helpshim become a better person, lawyer. And excellent dresser.I can already see a spin off of Herbieand his team!! I truly enjoyed this book
