Synopsis

Stone Barrington returns to the Big Apple in this New York Times bestselling thriller that blends “exciting action, sophisticated gadgetry, and last-minute heroics” (Publishers Weekly).

After a productive trip to Bel-Air, Stone Barrington is back in Manhattan—and back in his element, ready to return to the world of deluxe fine dining and elegant high society that New York does best.

But then an unexpected visit from his friend and periodic lover, CIA assistant director Holly Barker, draws Stone into a dangerous game of murder and vengeance, against an enemy with plans bigger than they could ever imagine...

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.

5 Stars. What an ending. Here's a clue - sometimes endings are grand finales with bangs and booms and fireworks galore, and sometimes they work themselves out as things often do in real life. Even with excitement aplenty, this one's still closer to the latter. Just as satisfactory. 'Collateral ..' i......more

Goodreads review by Kay on February 04, 2013

As usual I just keep reading these books. The only thing said in my defense is they are so light it doesn't take long to finish. Plus it gets my mind to working to answer this question: In a matter of days Holly flies from DC to London to NYC, hunts down terrorists, advises the CIA director, becomes......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on April 04, 2014

I'm beginning to hate the Stone Barrington character. I was actually rooting for Al-Quada and hoping that they would succeed in killing Stone or Holly or anyone else related to Stone just to knock him down a few pegs. His character has developed into someone that never makes mistakes and is allowed......more
