review 1: A somewhat different theme for a Stone Barrington story. This is more about a terrorist plot to assassinate the US president with a nuclear bomb at the opening of a hotel in California than the usual NYC crime story. Secondary character Holly Barker plays the major role in this b...

review 1: This book wasn't very surprising as Stuart Woods seems to have gotten stuck in his writing, using the same formula for his Stone novels. A predictable dose of Knob Creek, Elaine's for dinner, flying and an insane amount of money passing between people with injected scenes of lazy...

review 1: This book is very far along in a series so I didn't know the complete background of the main character, Stone Barrington, and didn't understand why, if he was a lawyer, he has so many contacts within the CIA and other government agencies. With all that said the book was pretty g...
