Worst Fears Realized
Stuart Woods brings back one of his most popular characters, Stone Barrington, in his fifth novel of the life and times of the former cop turned lawyer turned investigator. Stone is in a position that every ex-policeman dreads–all around him people are dying, and he suspects the killer may be someone he’d put in prison years before. Dino Bacchetti, Stone’s ex-partner, now the head of detectives in the 19th Precinct, is not immune either and the two men must pool their resources to protect those close to them. Stone’s former love, Arrington, now married to movie star Vance Calder, is back, too, and nose to nose with a new woman in Stone’s life, one with a Mafia bloodline who may be as dangerous as she is beautiful. Stone and Dino begin to trace their tracks from years before, looking for clues that might lead them to the brilliant killer. From a premier table at the legendary Elaine’s to dark back alleys where Armani-clad mobsters with the latest lethal accessories dwell, this nail-biting suspense tale takes Stone on a life-and-death hunt that twists and turns till the very end.
