My first read by Stuart Woods. No color or character building. Sort of like listening to a tape recorder of a conversation - you get the facts of what was said without all the other human senses that play into an experience. ( )

I think that Stuart Wood's novels attract me because of the spare tightness of his writing style and the well-paced action. However, I felt a little dirty after I finished this book because of the appalling cold-bloodedness of almost every character in the story, "good guys" as well as "bad guys." There really is no redeeming quality of this story -- no shared laughs or uplifting story. Although the bad guys get their just due in the end, it was not by any noble means. Even the "good guys" were motivated by pure self-interest / revenge and committed their own murders. I would not recommend this book. ( )

Absurd plot -- legal matters that normally take weeks or months are handled in hours or days. Bodies pile up. Serious editing error near the end. Yuk. ( )

This is the second book in the Ed Eagle series by Stuart Woods. I had read the first a few years ago, so it took some time for characters to be re-introduced to me. However, I was hooked by the first 30 pages - a trial, jail escape, stolen money, new identity, etc. I didn't want to put the book down so don't start this book unless you have the time to finish it right then.

It had been a while since I had read the first book with Ed Eagle but the author did a great job with his background throughout the book. Don't start this book if you can't read it in one sitting. It's fast reading. Enjoy! ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399154906, Hardcover)

New York Times bestseller Stuart Woods returns with a fast-paced thriller, starring Ed Eagle, the take-no-prisoners attorney from Santa Fe Rules and Short Straw.

When last we encountered Ed Eagle, he had been the target of a murder-for-hire plot orchestrated by his wife, Barbara, the ultimate black widow. But when Barbara escapes from police custody, Ed knows that not only will his life be in danger but also the life of his new girlfriend, and, of course, of any rich man unlucky enough to be lured into Barbara’s web. To add to his troubles, Ed has taken on a new client, Don Wells, who may or may not have murdered his own wife and son.

From the posh resorts of southern California to the New Mexico desert and the seedy hotels of Tijuana, Ed Eagle will follow every lead—and hope that he doesn’t wind up Santa Fe Dead.
