Publisher's Summary

Teddy Fay returns to his roots in espionage, in the latest thriller from number-one New York Times best-selling author Stuart Woods.

When Teddy Fay receives a freelance assignment from a gentleman he can't refuse, he jets off to Paris on the hunt for a treasonous criminal. But as Teddy unearths more information that just doesn't seem to connect, his straightforward mission becomes far bigger - and stranger - than he could imagine. 

The trail of bread crumbs leads to secrets hidden within secrets, evildoers trading in money and power, and a global threat on an unprecedented scale. Under the beautiful veneer of the City of Lights, true villainy lurks in the shadows...and Teddy Fay alone can prevent the impending disaster.

Worst Woods book EVER

I’m so glad Audible has a refund policy , cuz this book was a complete waste of time !! And that’s saying something , I’ve been a Stone Barrington for since book #1 . This one just plain sucked ! I kept waiting for it to get better , but after 63 chapters I finally gave up .... first time ever for that !!

Slow and uninteresting

Normally I listen for hours, not this time. I had trouble following the storyline because the narrator was not convincing enough. The mole was apparent from the onset and the story didn't quite reach the excitement level I was expecting.

Refreshing

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. It’s wonderful to see Faye use all the skills that he learned from the CIA to defeat the bad guys and at the same time have Lance Cabbott owe him a favor. Stuart Woods is on top of his game with this book. I cannot wait until book number four comes out! This is the book I am definitely going to listen to again as soon as I finish some other books. For Stewart Woods Lovers this is a must read.

Best yet

Good plot, well written and kept my attention. The narrator was excellent. Anyone who likes a good story will love this book.

FAbulous

A very well written book. The narration by the fine Tony Roberts was excellent. Good story line with a few twists which made for an interesting book. I wish there were more Teddy Fey books. Try this book and you will not get any sleep.

Worst Stuart Woods book ever!!

This will be the last Stuart Woods book I purchase unless he goes back to the quality work he used to produce. I used to be a big fan of his work. Chiefs and the Will Lee series are excellent works. Skin Game is supposed to be a Teddy Fay book, but I don’t know who the character in this book is supposed to be. This character is a bumbling idiot.

The premise of this book is ridiculous and reads like a ten-year-old boy’s rambling thoughts. The “Texan” character that Teddy pretends to be is a complete caricature. Some crazy amalgam of J.R. Ewing and Elmer Fudd. Woods wants us to believe that this character could stroll through French Customs with a .45 Colt revolver and then walk around Paris with it on his hip. This could only come from the imagination of some east coast liberal that expects his audience to be completely ignorant and gullible.

Spoiler Alert!! Why on earth would Teddy swap dogs when he already had the “virus mule” dog out of the house? To add 45 more minutes to this miserable book? Who knows…

Worst woods book ever

Not up to Stuart Woods usual standards. Very disappointed. The first time I have returned a Woods novel.

a nice romp

Teddy Fay - this one big romp of spies, crazy scenes and good ol' Teddy Fay- a former CIA spy.
He has a new identity as Billy Barnett a movie producer. He is dragged into a mission to find a mole in the Paris office.
This is typical Stuart Woods. We have a cameo by Stone and Dino. I like that Dino helped Teddy on in his own. He is usually Stone’s sidekick
I really enjoyed it. It is not great literature but a good lighthearted read

Teddy Fay is a multi-talented character

Teddy Fay is a multi-talented character with a wicked sense of humor. The story was worth waiting for. I hope there will be more.
