Synopsis

Stone Barrington takes on a client who gives him a run for his money in this heart-stopping thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stuart Woods.
 
Fresh off the runway at Teterboro, Stone Barrington arrives home to find an unexpected new client on his doorstep, anxiously soliciting his help. But everything is not as it seems, when the client reveals the true nature—and value—of his recent turn of fortune.

From luxury New York high-rises to the sprawling New Mexico desert, his client is pursued from all angles...and Stone quickly learns that easy money isn’t always so easy.

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.

Stuart Woods is one of the most prolific authors out there. There have been Stone Barrington books where I've thought, "perhaps he's no longer interested in anything more than getting another one out the door," because they fell flat, but this one has all the fun, charm, wit, and good dialogue I cou......more

Goodreads review by Robin on January 17, 2017

Wow I've read 39 Stone Barrington books! Thanks to our public library system I haven't bought any. In this book, we meet a young man, who won over half a billion dollars in the lottery.

Goodreads review by Don on November 05, 2016

(2) I really enjoy the Stone Barrington books, they read ridiculously quickly and are very soothing, but they are getting awfully repetitive. I guess when you crank out a new one every 3 months that is to be expected. As always, the usual cast of characters are here, and Stone's private aircraft mak......more
