Stone Barrington gets reacquainted with a long-buried case and an ex-lover in this electrifying thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Luxuriating in Palm Beach's winter warmth, Stone is stunned to recognize someone he thought was dead. Former client Allison Manning is alive and well—and suddenly very rich. Now she needs Stone's help in squaring a charge of insurance fraud that's been hanging over her head for years—and in getting rid of a recently acquired stalker. Suspects abound, including an elusive writer, an enigmatic businessman, and Allison's devious former husband. Only Stone can thwart the sly and greedy plan to steal the millions of dollars at stake—and the crafty killer behind it...

Before he started mailing them in.

Classic Stuart Woods. I really like the narrator as well. Mindless but lots of fun.

Love Tony Roberts

I had already purchased this book that had a different narrator. I spent the money again to get the Audible version with Tony Roberts.

Great reading

Awesome continuous plots. Love the Stone & Dino duo. If you thirst for some smart detective action, here ya go!

Cold Paradise

Excellent story. All the twists and turns the Stone Barrington novels take you never know what is going to happen next!

Tony Roberts Saves the Book

We can't seem to ever seem to actually end a book but it is nice to see characters interweaved throughout the series. At some point new material is needed but the stories are entertaining and don't take too much critical thinking.
