Publisher Description
Stuart Woods is in top form…and so is his perennially popular hero, Stone Barrington!
When a hedge fund billionaire hires Stone Barrington to talk some sense into his wayward son, it seems like an easy enough job; no one knows the hidden sins and temptations of the ultra-wealthy better than Stone. But as Stone and his erstwhile protégé, Herbie Fisher, probe deeper into the case—and an old one comes back to haunt him---he realizes that even he may have underestimated just how far some people will go to cover up their crimes…and plan new ones.
From Manhattan’s mahogany-paneled law offices to its modern penthouse lofts and dimly lit nightclubs, the trail of entrapment and murder leads to a shocking act that no one could ever have anticipated.

"Too much Herbie in this title, but I did love having more Dino and his office actually working a crime. Of course, I love Stone! I would actually enjoy a title with all Dino and Stone just showing up through the chapters when him and Dino had dinner or needed to discuss the case. :o)"

" I will read Stuart Woods again. "
— Marion, 2/13/2014 -
" Usual Stuart Woods book...Not great...not bad "
— Marcia, 2/12/2014 -
" as others is have stated stone plays a more supportive role in this novel, whereas herbie (herb now) fischer takes center stage. i still enjoyed the overall stories that were intertwined to make the complete plot, at parts more than a little predictable. it did take a bit to pick up pace wise from the beginning but i think that can happen often with woods writings. "

" Usual fluff...quick read. More about Herbie than Stone. Woods is good to read between heavier material. "
— Chris, 1/23/2014 -
" Meet the new young lawyer. Watch him do everything right. Watch him get rightful recognition. Watching his unchallenged utopia. This felt like I was reading a child's jigsaw puzzle. "
— Dale, 1/15/2014 -
" Quick easy read. If you are a Stone Barrington fan, you won't be disappointed. I finished this on 2 flights in about 4-5 hours. Fast paced and fun. "
— Doug, 12/25/2013 -
" Typical Stuart Woods fun read good characters. "
— Bill, 12/19/2013 -
" Different in that Stone had a smaller role than did DINO and Herbie. Still entertaining. "
— Gail, 12/5/2013 -
" I'm getting tired of the same story. I'm mad that Elaine died out of nowhere. Herbie is all of a sudden brilliant? Stone isn't a main character and Dino is acting like a fool. What happened to the good juicy thriller Stone books? These aren't good any more. "
— Tanya, 11/30/2013 -
" As, the last one starting with "Elaine's. Late." "
— GrandmaMommy, 11/18/2013 -
" Was he late for his deadline and just cobbled together various ideas for future books? This is not, by any means, a worthwhile read. Sorry Mr. Woods. "
— Robyn, 9/28/2013 -
" Typical book with stone and Dino. Maybe even better than the last one. "
— Lynette, 9/25/2013 -
" Another good Stone Barrington book by Stuart Woods. I personally would have prefered the story to include young Mr. Barrington. I think his addition since Son of Stone has opened up a boatload of possibilities but as of yet Woods has yet to really scratch the surface. "
— Philip, 9/18/2013 -
" Boring -- nothing thrilling about it. "
— Carolyn, 8/1/2013 -
" Typical Stone Barrington. Will PJ Clarke's be the new Elaine's? "
— Paula, 6/27/2013 -
" I was a bit disappointed in this Stone Barrington book. Herbie had always been such a screw-up and now all of a sudden he's moving up fast at the law firm. His character is evolving into another Stone. One Stone is good. Two, not so good! "
— Terry, 6/2/2013 -
" A good Stone Barrington novel. I read it in one day at beach. Recommend all of Stuart woods' books "
— Nancy, 3/4/2013 -
" I hope Stone Barrington lives to be 100! "

— Al, 8/23/2012 -

" Ugh! That is all... "
— Angie, 6/2/2012 -
