Stone Barrington and Holly Barker pursue a master spy and murderer in a tropical paradise in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series that gets hotter by the minute… Rogue agent Teddy Fay has been considered dead for some time now. But President Will Lee thinks Teddy may still be alive. In a top-secret Oval Office meeting, Stone Barrington learns that he and his cohorts, Holly Barker and Dino Bacchetti, are being sent to the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Marks, courtesy of the CIA, to track down Teddy once and for all. St. Marks is a vacationers’ paradise, but its luxurious beach clubs and secluded mountain villas are home to corrupt local politicians and more than a few American expats with murky personal histories. Stone and Holly soon discover that in St. Marks, everyone is hiding something—and that Teddy Fay may just be hiding in plain sight.

"This is my third book I am reading of this series. I just realized that there are quite a few of them with Holly and Stone...so I think I am going to have to go out and buy book 1 and start from the beginning. These are good stories and not too many pages, so I can read them quickly."
— Leah (4 out of 5 stars)
" Stone Barrington is my favorite character but this book was definately nothing in comparision to the earlier books in this series. "
— Debbie, 2/14/2014" Oh, what the heck, Stuart Woods is my guilty pleasure. I like the Stone Barrington books and this was a fun one. Liked the setting and did NOT guess the ending. "
— Granny, 2/9/2014" Stone Barrington is always good - this one was a little hard to follow at first - too many characters and too much international intrigue - but it became clearer over time (and pages). "
— Tami, 2/6/2014" I did not think I would finish listening to this CD at the beginning, but it grew on me. It is slow but interesting. Characters are shallow but the story is good. I will read other Stone Barrington books. "
— Sheryl, 2/3/2014" Quick decent read, but dumb ending. "
— Dulcie, 1/31/2014" It almost made it to four stars, but the author left some loose ends. "
— Gabriella, 1/29/2014" Not my favorite Stone Barrington book but it wasn't bad. Any book starring him is entertaining "
— Susan, 1/27/2014" Usually I can whip through a Stone Barrington/Holly Baker novel by Woods. But this one just didn't hold my attention. Maybe because I don't care for the reoccurring character of Teddy Fay. Maybe it is time for a new character. "
— Ginny, 1/13/2014" A Stone Barrington/Holly Barker collaboration in finding Holly's nemesis Teddy Faye. "

— GailA, 12/14/2013" This book is typical of the consistenlly cood Stone Barrington series by Stuart Woods. I listened to this book on books on cd's. It was read by Tony Roberts who always does the best job of voicing the Stuart Wood characters. "
— Bob, 12/2/2013" Not my favorite Woods character "
— Linda, 11/28/2013" This is book on CD. I shared listeninf to it with my sister and her husband. We all enjoyed it very much. "
— Ralph, 9/14/2013" every so often i change my reading habits and go for the mindless murder ,mystery series of stuart woods...they are easy to read and harmless enough. som,etimes i think he writes "for the movies" and sometimes his books do turn into movies but again...totally different reading!!! "

— Vicki, 10/18/2012" I love all of the Stone Barrington books and this one so far is not disappointing. Having him on St. Marks adds an air of mystery to everything. Can't wait to see how it ends. "
— Michele, 8/16/2012" This book could be confusing to those who have not read Woods before. I've read most of his work and was still confused at points. I did enjoy all 3 of his characters in one book, but the plot and especially the ending were less than stellar "
— Cindy, 12/15/2011" Shoot Him If He Runs "
— Barbara, 12/8/2011" Good story....characters not as strong in this one and ending is a bit rushed, but still a fun read. This one also keeps you guessing till the end, and I really like the stories where Barrington and Barker work together. This would be a great beach book. "
— Andy, 10/6/2011" A fun thriller set in the Eastern Caribbean. "
— Susan, 6/12/2011" Woods is always good for snappy dialogue and light plots. <br/>WHOA! only a couple pages of gratuitous sex!!! Either Stone or Woods is slipping. <br/> <br/>I keep wondering how Dino gets all that time off from NYPD. "
— Marianne, 5/12/2011" Duplicated entry because book is in multiple series. "

— April, 10/14/2010" One of those perfect i need to relax type of books. Totally unrealistic intrigue. "
— Andrea, 10/3/2010" Tony Roberts narrates the heck out of this series. <br/>As usual Woods strains the boundaries of credibility. "
— Lisa, 9/26/2010" Couldn't finish this one.. too confusing.. I usually love Stone and Dino but too many characters to keep track of. "
— Lorna, 9/24/2010" I love all of the Stone Barrington books and this one so far is not disappointing. Having him on St. Marks adds an air of mystery to everything. Can't wait to see how it ends. "
— Michele, 6/13/2010" Entertaining,but predictable. At my age, this is fairly hard to understand, but not too hard. Maybe I'll read again when I'm older and wiser. Definitely not a bad book, but something left me unsatisfied. "
