About this listen
In the newest addition to the New York Times-bestselling series, Stone Barrington comes face-to-face with a beautiful woman from his past....
Stone Barrington receives a rather unexpected phone call from Arrington Calder, the ex-girlfriend with whom he has a son. Arrington's much older husband, the actor Vance Calder, has just died, leaving her a fortune in Centurion Studios stock. Arrington has plans for the money and asks Stone to represent her in the sale of the company. But when he arrives at her home in Bel-Air to finalize the deal, things take a nasty turn. It seems many of Hollywood's rich and beautiful have Arrington and Centurion in their sights, and Stone finds himself dragged into a surprisingly deadly web of intrigue.

Story
Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he’s too smart to be a cop, but it’s pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out. Suddenly he is on the front page of every New York newspaper and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country’s hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman.

Story
Sandy Kinsolving's once-glittering life hangs by a thread; his future depends on his wife's inheritance and whether or not she's about to throw him out on his ear. What he wouldn't give for a solution to his money and marriage problems. If this were an Alfred Hitchcock movie, the solution would be obvious. Enter a stranger with wife problems of his own, who offers a violent - and mutually advantageous - proposal. Then, in the time it takes to whisper a word, Kinsolving's normal life ends.

I enjoy the narrator very much. He does a great job delinetaing between the characters.If you’ve listened to books by Stuart Woods before, how does this one compare?
This is a typical Stuart Woods storyline but it is entertaining with some twists.What about Tony Roberts’s performance did you like?
Excellent! I have heard one other narrator and I was very disappointed. Mr. Roberts' makes the story come alive!If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I loved this story. First, because Herbie Fisher wasn't in it. Second, because for once Stone managed to keep it in his pants most of the book. Seems that if fifteen or so years have gone by, he should be slowing down just a little bit.
I love Dino more than I do Stone. I don't know what Stone would do without him.
One of the best storylines so far (IMHO)

Stone and Dino are the reason why I read this booksWhich character – as performed by Tony Roberts – was your favorite?
DinoDid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The comments that Dino makes just make me laugh. It is often at a traffic light and the others in traffic must think I'm crazy :-)Bel-air Dead
