Synopses & Reviews
Stone Barrington is back and better than ever in the astonishing new thriller from perennial fan favorite Stuart Woods.
When some business arrangements demand his personal attention, Stone Barrington jaunts off to Europe and immediately finds himself embroiled in trouble on both sides of the pond. In Paris, an old enemy is still in hot pursuit, and this time he may have a valuable local resource on his side: a powerful man with his own ax to grind against Stone. And back in the States, the churning rumor mill threatens to derail a project of vital importance not just to Stone, but to the entire nation. Though Stone is no stranger to peril, never before has he faced threats from so many directions at once.
From the bright lights of Paris to the staid paneled boardrooms of Capitol Hill, at risk is not just Stones reputation, but his very life
