Publisher's summary

From number-one best-selling author Stuart Woods comes an extraordinary new series starring an old fan favorite: Teddy Fay.

When President Kate Lee calls Stone Barrington to Washington on an urgent matter, it's soon clear that a potentially disastrous situation requires the kind of help more delicate than even he can provide...and he knows just the right man for the job. Teddy Fay: ex-CIA, master of disguise, and a gentleman not known for abiding by legal niceties in the pursuit of his own brand of justice.

Critic reviews

“Fast-moving, full of action, sexy and now with a very bright, devious new hero in Teddy Fay.... It is like eating forbidden fruit, sugary cotton candy or forbidden chocolate brownies with nuts. You know it isn’t good for you, but you can’t put it down! Just go ahead and read it.” (Lincoln Journal-Star)

“Fans are sure to welcome this action-packed start to a separate series within the larger Stone Barrington story arc.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Woods has millions of fans accumulated over the last 35 years who will read anything with his name on it, and Hall brings his own considerable following to the party. Entertaining, suspenseful reading for those who like smart-ass protagonists who are shrewder, tougher, and funnier than the bad guys they encounter.” (Booklist)

Gives Stone a break but supporting role fit.

I haven't ever bought a Stuart audio book. I always borrowed them from the library. This book was as I remember them- pleasant, a bit predictable but entertaining enough.

Great characters!

Far fetched plot especially the ending
The reader was not very good in changing his voice for the different characters! They all sounded the same.
