Synopsis

Successful movie producer Wolf Willett is stunned when he sees his own death reported in a major newspaper. It says he was a victim in a triple homicide during a sordid tryst with his wife and a friend. But who is the unidentified corpse? Why can’t Wolf remember anything about the night in question? And who wants him dead?Wolf had the means and motive—and his inexplicable memory loss seems far too suspicious to suit Sante Fe’s crusading D.A., who promptly has Wolf arrested. And when another murder complicates the scenario, he turns to hot-shot criminal attorney Ed Eagle to help clear his name—and stop a killer who’s determined to finish the job. 

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.

Great read! Book #1 is such a fascinating, plot twisted and oh so well written -- and is the start to one of Stuart Woods privately investigative series -- that was also written way back in the 90's.

4 Stars. The premise is not new, but it can still shock. That is if readers think about how it might apply personally if they hear of their own death, whether by natural causes, accident or crime. "Pinch me; how did I miss this happening?" Movie producer Wolf Willett is awakened one morning by his g......more

A quick read and a twisty mystery/legal case. I truly enjoyed it and would read this author again. Make me truly want to travel to New Mexico now. I would recommend it to those who want a palate cleanser from the heavier, more dense book.......more

Goodreads review by Kym on October 23, 2022

Good pacing, and good characters, kept me guessing the whole book. A filmmaker's wife and best friend are killed along with another man and Wolf (the filmmaker) doesn't remember anything. This fast-paced "who dunnit" is bombarded by different twists and turns as the police get involved and he is arr......more
