Synopsis

Stone Barrington must trap a ruthless defector in this heart-stopping thriller from fan favorite Stuart Woods.

Stone Barrington is trying to enjoy some downtime at his English retreat when he's unceremoniously sent off to the remote reaches of the UK and into a deadly snare. As it turns out, this is only the first volley by a rival power, one that has its eyes set on disrupting the peace of the nation.

With the help of two brilliant and stunning women, Stone must leverage a new position of power to capture a villain with a lethal agenda. But the closer he comes to nabbing the culprit, the more he realizes there's a bigger plan at work, and a true mastermind who's a force to be reckoned with . . .

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 Skip on October 26, 2019

Not sure where the plot description on Goodreads came from, but it's wrong (see Amazon.) Stone goes off to a British spy training facility to pick up Dame Felicity Devonshire's Aston Martin, when he crashes into a river and is almost killed. He is "nursed" back to health by a Rose McGill, who ends u......more

Goodreads review by Michele on October 28, 2019

This one was just meh for me. The constant bed hopping by Stone has gotten out of hand. I am unsure when he finds the time to get tested for STD's. The premise of the book was a bit all over the place for me. Lance suddenly decides to offer Stone a permanent position that comes out of left field? St......more

Goodreads review by Rej on October 22, 2019

I read the comments from other readers and I agree with them that this book is probably the worst that I have read from Stuart Woods. It has no action and drags on for pages. May be less focus on sex and more on real action would make this book more interesting. Not sure if I will bother with Stone......more

Goodreads review by Jerrie on October 24, 2019

Slow beginning re the silly braggadocio about Stone's sexual and physical attributes (fantasy). Then the story was pretty good when we got into the spy novel. Of course Mr. Woods had to ruin it by describing all the numerous sexual activities during a couple of weeks with (1) the former director of......more

Goodreads review by Ellen on November 10, 2019

I'm not sure if this book was written by Stuart Woods. From the first chapter it didn't fit his style of writing. This book was full of very formal dialogue. It was a quick read though. Stone is in residence at his country house in England. He invites Dame Felicity to dinner and she brings along a par......more
