Suspense

BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |

Hard to believe this is 19th Stone Barrington novel. Light fare. Stone is drawn into the middle of another CIA mess with Lance Cabot when his new client's C-17 cargo aircraft is used to extract an arms merchant and he escapes by driving a Mercedes out the back while airborne. Meanwhile, there is a financial scandal involving the family of Herbie's new wife which is happening in parallel. Plenty of NYPD detective Dino Bachetti, Elaine's, and girls for Stone. (

Stone Barrington is enjoying his usual dinner at Elaine's when his boss at Woodman & Weld, the law firm where Stone is "of counsel", begins to talk about a partnership. It seems Stone's discreet handling of super-wealthy clients has earned him a place in the most elite of white-shoe law firms. But almost as soon as his elevation is mentioned, Stone gets wind of an impending scandal that could put some of New York's rich and powerful in financial peril. In a world of easy wealth, Park Avenue penthouses and society galas, Stone Barrington is something of an outsider. . . but one who always knows exactly what his clients require. (
