Stone Barrington must track down an enemy intent on disturbing law and order in the latest action-packed thriller from the number-one New York Times best-selling author.

But when a grisly crime arrives on his doorstep, along with some suspicious new clients eager for his help, Stone realizes peace and quiet are no longer an option. As it turns out, the mastermind behind the malfeasance rocking New York City and the nation's capital wields a heavy hand of influence. And when Stone is unable to recruit those closest to the case to his side, he is left with few leads and a handful of dead-ends.

But with the help of important people in high places - and the expertise of alluring new friends - Stone is more than ready to rise to the occasion.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Woods’s alternate universe—in which the first female U.S. president is succeeded by the second female U.S. president—provides perfect escapist fare.”—Publishers Weekly

“Woods provides a lively romp of a book, but it's built for entertainment, not solving puzzles. Pick up a copy to update your sense of why James Bond was and is adored.”—New York Journal of Books

I enjoy the lavish lifestyle of our lawyer and his many cases and interludes with the President !!

the number of times our hero jumped into bed and how friendly his lady friends were to each other.

it did keep me listening and an enjoyable and profitable several hours were spent doing jigsaw puzzles and knitting.

As always Stuart Woods provides an intrigue filled Stone Barrington story. You can't get any better entertainment than this.

Predictable

Not really as entertaining as his earlier works. The story line is basically repetitive, just add different names. Stone meets girl, has sex with girl, and she moves on. All the while jumping around the globe on his private jet. The stories are becoming more predictable and less actionable. And the politics is getting old.

Another winner by Woods!

For me all his books are so easy to listen to, the plots always flow quickly and seamlessly and I always rush to get back to them. I like that they're uncomplicated as I feel with enough complex stuff during the day in my business. I'm surprised that no one has made a few of the books into movies. I wonder who would play Stone? He always gets into some sticky situations with the ladies too, LOL. Oh well I have to wait til the end of December for the next book in the series...

Another excellent book by Stuart Woods

I enjoyed everything about it. The performance really made a great story more interesting and enjoyable.

Does this character ever grow up?

I have been reading this series for years. When I was younger I thought the character interesting and fun, but now he seems irresponsible, immature and emotionally stunted. I always enjoy Mr. Woods’s writing and style but can Stone Barrington wear a condom if we are going to let him be a man whore. This is the 21st Century.

predictable

good background book. his read-aloud stories are interesting enough to entertain, but i can walk away and come back a few minutes later without worrying about missing any key info.

Love Stuart Woods!!

Great Book. Love Stone Barrington and Dino Baccheti.
Tony Robert's does a wonderful job reading. Thanks for a great listen!!
