Smooth Operator

By: Stuart Woods, Parnell Hall

Narrated by: Tony Roberts

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stone Barrington series comes the first novel in an extraordinary 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

Praise for Smooth Operator

“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

this is the best Stone Barrington book in years.

Woods has been toddling along for a dozen books with "life doesn't get better then it does for Stone Barrington". people who followed his character through all of soap opera Renditions have been waiting for Woods to get back on track. used to be he wrote exciting and compelling books. now you tune in just to find out how stone is doing like you might call an old friend. wouldn't that be great if the franchise continued writing thrillers that had some Thrills in it like this.

Suspenseful!!!

This book was great from page 1 to the end, so many characters and action needs to be a movie. Can't wait for the sequel! EXCELLENT READ

Billy Barnett a/k/a Teddy Fay

Billy Barnett one of my favorite characters. Made a great main character. Good to have a "fixer." Much better writing than the last 10 books. Less sex and more substance. Thank you Parnell Hall. Only dislike was Holly Barker's personna and competence undermined. She is far more powerful than portrayed. Didn't hear much from Stone in this one.

great book!!

Teddy Fay is a remarkable character. I like him. I hope there'll be more books in the future of Teddy Fay.

Good storyline

Smooth operator was a good rebound and your books were getting to be a little monotonous looking forward to read others
