Teddy Fay must put all his skills to the test in this electrifying new adventure in the New York Times bestselling series.
While filming on location in scenic Santa Barbara, California, Peter Barrington and Ben Bacchetti look to expand Centurion Studios' business by making a deal with a young Croatian tech billionaire. But when the magnate’s wife is kidnapped, Teddy Fay is brought in to assess the threat and recover the young woman.
As Teddy unravels the threads of her disappearance, he quickly comes to find an old vendetta seethes at the center, one that puts them all at risk. And danger is lurking even nearer to home as an obsessive fan with perilous intentions weasels his way onto the film set. It’s only Teddy who can stop him from getting too close for comfort.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The breezy sixth Teddy Fay thriller from Woods and Battles (following 2021's Jackpot) sees the former CIA operative and master of disguise switching between his true identity and those of Academy Award–winning actor Mark Weldon and film producer Billy Barnett, both holdovers from old cases. While Teddy works both in front of and behind the camera on the latest action thriller from director Peter Barrington (son of Teddy's friend Stone Barrington, who holds down his own Woods series and appears here), the opportunity arises for Ben Bachetti, head of the studio producing Peter's movies, to partner with a company helmed by Croatian tech billionaire Carl Novak. Just before Carl and Ben meet, Carl's wife Rebecca disappears. A short time later, Carl receives messages indicating that his wife's kidnapping is payback for an old grievance. With film production hanging in the balance, Stone enlists Teddy to help find Rebecca; amid that investigation, an obsessive fan fixated on one of the film's stars makes his way to the set and threatens production further. Though this is familiar territory for Teddy, Woods and Battles provide reliable thrills and a smoother ride than in the previous installment. Series fans will celebrate this return to form.
