Publisher Description
Stone Barrington is back and better than ever in the astonishing new thriller from New York Times bestseller Stuart Woods.
Stone Barrington has returned to Paris to attend to some business concerns, and finds himself embroiled in high-stakes trouble on both sides of the pond. An old enemy is still in hot pursuit, and this time he might have a powerful local resource on his side: a gentleman with his own ax to grind against Stone. And back in the United States, the swirling rumor mill threatens to derail a project of vital importance not just to Stone but to the nation. Though Stone is no stranger to peril, never before has he faced threats from so many directions at once. . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Edgar-winner Woods's intriguing 31st Stone Barrington novel (after Cut and Thrust) takes the New York City attorney to Paris for the opening of his new hotel, l'Arrington. Stone leaves behind his love, Ann Keaton, to manage the campaign of the first-ever pregnant presidential candidate, their mutual friend, Kate Lee, the wife of exiting President Will Lee. In the City of Light, Stone finds himself the prey of a former enemy, making his sojourn there as terrifying an experience as it is a pleasurable wining-and-dining one. And Stone being Stone, he's not without women for long. There's Mirabelle Chance, a couture designer, and Stone's on-and-off lady friend, Holly Barker, offering her very special personal touch as well as her procedural CIA support. As always, Woods's knack for natural, nimble dialogue moves the plot along as Stone fights for his business interests, his reputation, and even his life.
