Description

Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:Stone Barrington must trap a ruthless defector in this heart-stopping thriller from fan favorite Stuart Woods. Stone Barrington is trying to enjoy some downtime at his English retreat when he's unceremoniously sent off to the remote reaches of the UK and into a deadly snare. As it turns out, this is only the first volley by a rival power, one that has its eyes set on disrupting the peace of the nation. With the help of two brilliant and stunning women, Stone must leverage a new position of power to capture a villain with a lethal agenda. But the closer he comes to nabbing the culprit, the more he realizes there's a bigger plan at work, and a true mastermind who's a force to be reckoned with . . .

Following a short stint at Station Two, a British spy training facility in the Scottish Highlands, Stone Barrington finds himself pitted against a traitor with a lethal agenda.

The fifty-first in the series, “Stealth” finds Stone staying put [relatively] rather than house-hopping between his

many properties. Despite the fact that Stone remains [relatively] settled in England throughout the story, Dino and Viv Bacchetti manage to be front and center for most of the goings-on. [It must be nice to be able to call out of work so often.]

The requisite luxury, fine food, money, and sex all play major roles here, but the shameless bed-hopping has become both crude and embarrassing. Fans of the series may enjoy the spy caper, and there are some exciting moments in the telling of that tale, but it’s long past time for Stone Barrington to find some respect for the ladies he dates and for himself.

#51 in the Stone Barrington series, the book was a fun read, even though it was full of very formal dialogue. With the help of two brilliant women, Stone must leverage a new position of power to capture a villain. Of course, he beds both women and Holly Barker to boot. Yep, i concur. with other

reviewers..quite a lot of sex in this one. Lance plays a large role in this story as does Dame Felicity. Naming of two detectives at the end reflect the author's humor :-)

In this Stone Barrington novel, Stone is mainly at his estate in England. While at dinner one night, Dame Felicity and her friends mention to Stone that he should go to one of the training sites for MI-6. He does, and while there has an auto accident. While recovering, he meets Rose McGill, a

surgeon. He also meets Colonel Roger Fife-Simpson. Fife-Simpson becomes assigned as Felicity's deputy at MI-6, but is abrasive. Through a series of movements, Felicity gets him to resign. He resents this, and is recruited by the Russians. The Russians then put out a hit on Felicity and Stone.
This was typical Barrington, lots of sex, put in danger which he miraculously escapes, and an OK plot. Better than the last one I read, but still too much gratuitous sex. The best part of these novels are that they read quickly - you can finish in about 3 hours.

Upon returning to the states from a European jaunt, Stone Barrington makes the acquaintance of a stunning woman who seems like she could be an ideal candidate to meet some of his professional--and personal--needs. Before long, though, Stone is put to the task of protecting his new hire when New

York City is rocked by a series of disturbing crimes, and it looks as if she might be the next target.

In the city that never sleeps there's always a plot being hatched, and the only recourse is constant vigilance and a bit of luck. But if those defensive systems fail, Stone will have to go head-to-head against some of the most dastardly scum he's ever faced
