Publisher's summary

"The story races at a dizzying pace.... [Woods] does show a reader a good time." (Washington Post Book World)

Step One: The Perfect Murder

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. What radiate like a mirage before him are wealth, security, and freedom. But lurking in the shadows are a brutal murder he cannot prevent and a madman who stalks his every waking moment.

"One of the smoothest writers in the pop literature biz and always a pleasure to read." (Detroit News)

Complicated yet believable plot

This was my first book by the author and I enjoyed it. An excellent twist on the old Hitchcock movie.

Good listen.

This one held my full attention all the way through to the end. I was expecting a much stronger ending though.

Woods is great even without Stone

I have read almost all of Stuart Woods books and now going back to the few I missed. This was a great story even without Stone Barrington . I think Tony Roberts is the best in the business.

Excellent plot. I truly enjoyed this listen!

Tony Roberts’ narration of Stuart Woods’ story was great. There was much the same flavor as the Stone Barrington series. Kudos Mr. Roberts!

Stewart Woods, great job as always. Tony Roberts is the best!

I have read all of Woods stories some several times Tony has kept me many hours and miles. I will miss Stewart Woods very much. I hope to find other audios narrated by Tony Roberts.

5 Star Rating

The pacing of the plot, the calibre of the voice acted performance, the flow of the prose combine to create a symphonic production of a well-told story. I had to listen to it with only eating and sleeping, exercise breaks. No worries; I knitted during much of the listening. I highly recommend this book. I think dyslexics would really benefit and learn the craft of novel writing by listening to it. GET THIS BOOK. It’s worth re-reading also, a good library investment.
