Synopsis

In this exhilarating new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stuart Woods, Stone Barrington must go up against an enemy with deadly intentions--and ideologies.

Stone Barrington and his friends are vacationing in Maine when their leisure is suddenly disrupted by extreme weather. To make matters worse, the inclement conditions allow for a menacing adversary to sneak in unnoticed and deliver a chilling message. Soon it becomes clear that the target of the incident is one of Stone's closest companions, and that these enemies have a grander scheme in mind.

From the bustling streets of New York City to the sun-drenched shores of Key West, Stone intends to nab the criminals that appear behind him at every step. But his search only leads him further down a trail of peril and corruption, and he'll soon find that at the end of the road is a more dangerous foe than he could have imagined...

About Stuart Woods

The American novelist hailing from Georgia, Stuart Woods, had a long and lustrous career in competition sailing. The interest, maybe obsession, with sailing began after he had spent time in London, then Ireland to write a novel about an old family story which he had heard as a child. He began putting together a crew for sailing competition shortly after he moved to Ireland.

It was in conjunction with a certain race, the MORCRA Azores Race and the OSTAR, Woods met with publishers to trade writing a book about his sailing experiences in return for sponsorship of the races. Golden Harp was launched in 1975, followed by Golden, Golden Apple, Golden Shamrock, Golden Delicious, and Harp.

Wood's novel, Blue Water. Green Skipper was published in 1977. His next book took a different turn and was based on his extensive travels around England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It was entitled, A Romantic's Guide to the Country Inns of Britain and Ireland. He then followed those two non-fiction books with several series of novels featuring recurring casts of characters and also with characters and their love interests, and frequent use of the New York restaurant Elaine's as a meeting place. Woods has published a memoir, a travel book, and forty-four novels in a thirty-seven year career.

I am a fan of the Stone Barrington series. I’m willing to suspend disbelief and enjoy the adventures, however unlikely. During this time of Covid, this was a great read to take my mind off the problems. This was just a fun romp with characters that are old friends. Some of these books are better tha......more

Goodreads review by Jenny on September 03, 2020

Amazingly, Barrington only slept with one woman through the entire book! It’s stretches the imagination that the United Secret Service would take direction from Stone Barrington. That he would suggest ways to protect the President-elect and the USSS has never had that thought before? It just stretche......more

Goodreads review by Richard on November 25, 2020

I always start by saying that I have been from the beginning a big Stone Barrington fan but many of the most recent books have been horrible. It’s probably time for the author to hang it up on this series. Like I mentioned before, Stone Barrington has to be in his 70s by now. I know I have to relax......more

The FBI also has a mole in the group. And it seems that there's another double agent inserted into t......more
