Publisher's Summary
Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he’s too smart to be a cop, but it’s pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out. Suddenly he is on the front page of every New York newspaper and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country’s hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman.
No matter where he turns, the case is waiting for him, haunting his nights and turning his days into a living hell. Stone finds himself caught in a perilous web of unspeakable crimes, dangerous friends, and sexual depravity that has throughout it one common thread: Sasha.

"Mr. Woods should expand his horizons."
Stuart Woods has written books set in Manhattan and Florida. Early in his career he was entertaining. Now, however, he is boring. His protagonist is named Stone Barrington, This right away should put you on your guard. The name sounds just like a soap opera character, doesn't it? The book is set in the extremely cloistered environment, in which Manhattan is the only place in the world that counts. Or, as the cartoon once said, everything west of the Hudson is Pitttsburgh. The action, such as it is, involves the suicide or murder of Sasha Nijinski, a news reader on one of the TV news programs. From that point on, the plot is stale. There is no suspense. Of course the sleek Mr. Barrington becomes sexually involved with a woman who is just as sleek as he is, and they have sex until it hurts. I began to lose interest about a third of the way through. I mean, does Mr. Woods actually believe that we care whether his hero can get a good table at Elaine's? Or, do we really care if they can get into Robert DeNiro's new hangout? Puuullllease! Woody Allen has worked this tiny plot of land for his entire life, and it is thoroughly wrung out by now. A new generation of writers might be able to pull fresh material from the same milieu, but Mr. Woods is by now simply knocking these out because his publishers demand it. It is possible that the publishers and Mr. Woods are still making money at this, but, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

"Good old Stone Barrington"
It's interesting, despite a huge snow storm, the moonlight was bright enough to see by.
