Publisher Description
Stone Barrington allies with a former foe when his west coast vacation turns into a dangerous situation in this riveting novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
When Stone Barrington embarks on a trip to Bel-Air to check in on some business and personal concerns, he expects a relaxing break from the fast pace and mean streets of New York. But trouble never takes a vacation, and it has a way of finding Stone. A case that had seemingly been resolved has returned in full force—with lethal results. And this deadly situation makes for strange bedfellows when Stone finds himself teamed with the least likely ally: former CIA operative Teddy Fay—a gentleman of unique abilities who specializes in flying below the radar and above the law...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Edgar-winner Woods's smooth 27th Stone Barrington novel (after Unintended Consequences) takes the New York City attorney to Los Angeles, where Stone's son, Peter; Peter's girlfriend, Hattie Patrick; and friend Dino Bacchetti's son, Benito, are headed to begin work on their first film for Centurion Studios after graduating from the Yale School of Drama. Two assassins, dispatched by Yuri Majorov, a powerful Russian, are tailing the young people on their drive west, but fugitive and ex-CIA employee Teddy Fay, who's lying low as a gas station attendant in a small New Mexico town, ensures the thugs do no harm. Stone and Fay, who crossed paths once before, form an unlikely alliance as Majorov continues to send operatives to find and eliminate both Fay and the Barringtons for interfering with his various plans. Stone wealthy, handsome, and suave displays a father's ruthless streak to protect Peter, while Fay brings a welcome gritty edge to his crowd-pleasing series.

Teddy Fay and Stone team up...
Doing Hard Time
Another sterling Woods story. Barrington and arch bad guy, Teddy Fay team up to beat even worse foes. Great read!
Doing Hard Time
This has got to be one of the best Stuart Woods I've ever read. It was so exciting I couldn't put it down from the middle to the end. I love Stone Barrington as a character but Teddy Fay is now a great starring character. Teddy reminds me of some of Vince Flynn's no nonsense killer heroes.
Great book!
