Publisher Description
In this action-packed thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stuart Woods, Stone Barrington is on the hunt for a man who doesn’t want to be found in Key West... Dumped by his glamorous Russian girlfriend during dinner at Elaine’s and running low on cash, Stone Barrington is not having a good week. So his luck seems to be improving when he’s hired to locate the missing son of a very wealthy man—lucky because the job pays well, and because the son seems to be hiding in the tropical paradise of Key West. But when Stone and his sometime running buddy Dino Bacchetti arrive in the sunny Keys, it appears that someone has been lying in wait. Stone very nearly loses his life after being blindsided at a local bar, and he realizes that the missing son he’s been hired to track may have good reason for not wanting to be found. Suddenly Key West is looking less like Margaritaville and more like the mean streets of New York...

"Stone and Dino take off on a job for Stone and a vacation for Dino. It is a simple job, track down a man and get him to sign some papers, then they can enjoy fun in the sun. Key West is the backdrop for this adventure. As you can imagine nothing is a simple job for Stone as he becomes involved in murders revolving around the man he was sent to find. The plot has more twists and turns than a mountain road."

" Typical Stone and Dino. Frothy, quick, an afternoon read with familiar friends. Seemed to wrap up a little hastily. "
— Cathi, 2/9/2014 -
" I usually enjoy reading Stuart Woods, and liked this book also as it has some nice twists and turns in the story, but it wasn't one that I simply had to keep reading to finish. "
— Sandra, 1/30/2014 -
" Please see my review of Hot Mahogany. Same deal. "
— Heatherannwurtz, 1/29/2014 -

" Stone Barrington is always fun. "
— Wendy, 1/26/2014 -
" Picked this up in the airport for a quick read. The author is formulaic and the books are perposterous, but I always enjoy them and finish them in a day. "
— Angela, 1/10/2014 -
" I enjoy listening to Tony Roberts bring Stone Barrington and friends to life. This edition was not my favorite by Woods...it felt like it rambled along in parts, but nonetheless I enjoyed it. "
— Kimberly, 12/17/2013 -
" Read this in one sitting. Good plot premise but don't really feel like I get to know the characters. There isn't any depth to their personalities, Woods just details the plot action. This is my 3rd Stone Barrington series book, were earlier SB books better? "
— Jenny, 11/28/2013 -
" Entertaining, quick read.... makes you want to guess who did it, some suprises. "
— Meg, 11/27/2013 -
" Liked it, love Stone Barrington. Kept my interest and didn't have Holly Barker. For some reason I don't like it when they get together. "
— Jennyjo, 11/24/2013 -

" Very Good; Continuing character: Stone Barrington; Stone and Dino head to Florida, first to find a missing heir, then to deal with murders for hire "
— Joe, 11/4/2013 -
" I'll read more of his books. "
— Craig, 10/16/2013 -
" I hated the writing style of this book, but I finished it so it gets 2 stars instead of one. "
— Cyndee, 8/27/2013 -
" Ah Jeez, the Stone Barrington Books keep getting worse. I suspect if Woods took more then 2 months to write one he'd come out with a better product. He's really been phoning it in for a few years now. Maybe it's time to turn the character over to a ghost writer. "
— Amrumpler, 5/22/2013 -
" can't believe that Stuart Woods wrote this. have read many of his books but this was so amaturist that i could not even finish it "
— pam, 4/19/2013 -

— Vickie, 12/4/2012 -
" For years now I've seen Stuart's name on the best seller lists. Decided to give him a try. Not bad. Style reminiscent of Robert B. Parker. Dialog leads the action. I'm sure I'll try more in his Stone Barrington series. "
— Trent, 11/9/2012 -
" I'm not impressed with this book. I only readmit because I didn't have anything on me and someone left this on the plane. Sort of a waste of good time. Got tired of the sleaze. "
— Peggy, 10/27/2012 -
" Stone and Dino fly to Key West on a routine legal task that turns into much more...murder, romance and mayhem, of course - staples of the Stone Barrington series. Good always triumphs over evil...fun to read about the Keys and South Florida. "
— Robin, 9/25/2012 -
" as always a great and fast read.... "
