Publisher Description
Stone Barrington faces down danger on New York's mean streets in the latest thriller from perennial fan favorite Stuart Woods.
Upon returning to the states from a European jaunt, Stone Barrington makes the acquaintance of a stunning woman who seems like she could be an ideal candidate to meet some of his professional--and personal--needs. Before long, though, Stone is put to the task of protecting his new hire when New York City is rocked by a series of disturbing crimes, and it looks as if she might be the next target.
In the city that never sleeps there's always a plot being hatched, and the only recourse is constant vigilance and a bit of luck. But if those defensive systems fail, Stone will have to go head-to-head against some of the most dastardly scum he's ever faced . . .
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Stuart Woods’ 47th Stone Barrington mystery, the dashing sleuth goes up against a serial killer who’s targeting petite blonde victims. Unfortunately, that description perfectly matches Barrington’s latest flame: feisty and independent pilot Faith. Even worse, Faith’s not the only woman in Stone’s life who’s in danger. As usual, Woods keeps the action zipping along, the dialogue snappy, and the sexy scenes steamy.But things don’t wrap up neatly at the end of Desperate Measures—and a little lingering unease may be good for the wealthy playboy.

Desperate measures
Excellent Whodunit. Exactly what you would expect from Woods.
Desperate Measures
While thoroughly enjoying this series...I do sometimes wish Stone would be somewhat more loyal to the women who appears at frequent intervals.
Another poor read.
Stuart Woods needs to put out less books or retire, his writing skills have diminished greatly they past few years. I used to enjoy this series but now it reads like a kindergartener wrote it. The last one I will purchase.
