Another Stone Barrington book with Dino, Holly, Lance and this time President Lee involved in finding a loose cannon fugitive master of disguise agent in St Marks. The local police is run by a military police dictator.

Stuart Woods always gives just what you expect out of his books. Shoot Him if He Runs is like the other Stone Barrington Novels. Suspenseful, but not so that you wind up feeling too tense upon reading the novel.

I enjoy his books. I'm not sure why, since his characters are not particularly likeable. This book seemed to have a number of inconsistancies from prior books with the same characters. Overall, it was ok.

This is a very intriguing investigative Stone Barringham novel, with help of his friends, a CIA agent and his former NYPD partner, they try to find a ex-CIA agent, "Teddy Fay", that has been rumored too have been killed in numerous events. The CIA believe this not too be the case, they try to

locate "Teddy", but he seems too be a metamorphois in his camouflage for his identity on the island of St Marks. The ending is the conclusion of Teddy Fay himself ?

The first Stuart Woods novel I picked up I never finished. It just didn't grab me enough. A couple years later a new friend suggested a Woods novel, so I readit. It was very good and sicne thenI've read several of Wood's novels.

Barrington is brought in to handle a simple stock sale of a movie

studio, but of course it became far more than that.

Populated with very rich beautiful people, you'd think this book would be a promo piece for Hollywood, but it turned out to be a darn good read. It was nice to revisit Arone Barrington and his incredible luck.

If you like a good murder mystery, this isit.

Enjoyable mystery crime/CIA story with a good reader. Stone and friends are sent to find a rogue CIA former assassin to St. Marks in the Caribean.

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.

Light, entertaining, escapist. Stone Barrington gets an assignment to a Caribbean island with a woman partner and, of course, Dino. Dino didn't play too big a role. But, Holly Barker, partner, survives the book--unlike many of Stone's mistresses. It's a game changer for the government of St Marks.

Fun read, where's number 15?.
