Synopsis

New York Times best-selling author Stuart Woods is one of suspense fiction's premier talents. Grass Roots is his first novel starring Will Lee, one of Woods' most popular creations. As the novel opens, Lee, a prominent lawyer, returns to his home town in Georgia to tackle a controversial, racially charged case while gearing up for a run at a Senate seat. A sinister group known as The Elect, however, has other plans for Lee - plans that may bring his political ambitions to a violent end.

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.

First I have to say that I really love all of Stuart Woods books, that being said, I found that this book was as good if not better than the Stone Barrington books. This was the first Will Lee book I read, and I found it to be very enjoyable, and intersting. I really found myself staying up late because I could not put the book down. I just loved the ending. So, keep up the good work, Mr Woods, and I will keep reading.

Another Will Lee book by Stuart Woods that I loved ! If you have only read his Stone Barrington series, do yourself a favor and read this series ASAP. Start with " Chiefs" and read the rest of the series in order. You will not be disappointed!......more

George Guidall is an amazing narrator. Woods is a gifted storyteller, but these characters are all unlikeable selfish, self-absorbed, irresponsible jacakasses.......more

Goodreads review by Tiffany on December 14, 2014

Boring. The story doesn't pick up until the last 100 pages. Based upon politics and religion. I won't read another Will Lee book. I prefer the Stone Barringtons, but even with that series I think Stuart Woods wrote fantastic books early in his career and really lost his zeal later in life. I haven't......more

Goodreads review by Kym on April 08, 2022

A different kind of mystery/thriller. Will Lee, is considering a run as a Congressman. His mentor is struck down by a stroke and can not help him. In addition, he is handed a murder trial to defend. All this is going on throughout the book. Follow Will as he tries to forge ahead of his Dem opponent......more
