Synopsis

Someone wants to crash Stone Barrington’s party in Stuart Woods’s bestselling series.

Stone Barrington is in Bel-Air, overseeing the grand opening of the ultra-luxe hotel, The Arrington, built on the grounds of the mansion belonging to his late wife, Arrington Carter.

The star-studded gala will be attended by socialites, royalty, and billionaires from overseas…and according to phone conversations intercepted by the NSA, it may also have attracted the attention of international terrorists. To ensure the safety of his guests—and the city of Los Angeles—Stone may have to call in a few favors from his friends at the CIA….

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.

Goodreads review by Colin Craib on January 30, 2013

Well, I’ll preface this by saying that you pretty much have to know what to expect going into the Stone Barrington books.

Goodreads review by Jack on March 12, 2025

4 Stars. Another thriller in which Stone Barrington goes down to the wire to prevent catastrophe. Much of the early going is a set-up for the final harrowing scene in Los Angeles. But this time he's not the featured player; it's Holly Barker. She's the former Police Chief in Orchid Beach, Florida wh......more

Goodreads review by Joey on March 11, 2013

I used to love Stuart Woods. I really did. Had I always read him back to back with the likes of James Patterson I probably would have never outgrown him. But one time I read an Agatha Christie novel and then turned around and read Stuart Woods. It was like going from reading Homer to See Spot Run, or......more

Goodreads review by Kristine on October 14, 2012

Having read every single Stuart Woods book and thoroughly enjoying this series, I hate to say that I think this book "jumped the shark." There were ridiculous plot twists and forced ways to tie up loose endings. Plus, NO ONE has this much luck and opportunity. Also, everything to do with Peter, his......more
