Publisher's summary

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

In this latest adrenaline-fueled adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Stone Barrington faces his most vindictive threat yet.

Finally enjoying some downtime in Santa Fe, Stone Barrington agrees to attend an art exhibit with a dear friend. There, he encounters an intriguing woman who is on the trail of a ring of art thieves. Always one to please, Stone offers his help.

From Santa Fe to Los Angeles, it quickly becomes clear that her investigation has links to Stone—particularly to rare Matilda Stone art, his mother’s paintings. And when old grudges come to light, Stone is forced to reckon with a familiar enemy. Stone must act fast before whoever is out to get him finally closes in on him . . . for good.

A wonderful continuation of the Stone Barrington series

Brett Battles is the perfect choice to continue the Stuart Wood legacy. A great story in the style we Stuart Wood fans have come to enjoy and honor. I look forward to many more.

Great Job Continuing the Adventures of Stone Barrington

Classic story. Stone is targeted by unsavory characters but he and Dino prevail.

Sad that Stuart is no longer with us but great that fantasy lives on.

Quirky storyline with familiar, comfortable characters

I like how every character lends a clue or two that all come together in the end

Read Like The Older Books

Entertaining book, read like the older S Woods books. I thought several times this author is better than S Wood. Story more realistic & enjoyable than the books written later in Wood’s career. I look forward to more books by this author. Great job‼️

Always enjoy Stone Barrington

It's amazing how Stone, Dino, and Monica's discoveries lead to learning of the plot and masterminding a clever trap leading the arrest of the culprit. As always a very outstanding novel by Stuart Woods. Enjoyed every minute of it.

Didn’t miss a step

Brett Battles has continued perfectly from Stuart Woods the Stone Barrington series. And we continue to need Tony Robert’s to provide the excellent narration.
