Book Description:
In Dead in the Water, Stone has barely arrived in St. Marks, a lovely Caribbean island nation, on a sailing vacation when something very strange happens: A beautiful young woman sails into the harbor, entirely alone on a large yacht. Before long she is under the intense scrutiny of local authorities in the very considerable person ofSir Winston Sutherland, the minister of Justice. The problem is, though she arrived alone, she had departed the other side of the Atlantic in the company of her husband, a well-known writer, who is no longer in evidence.Members who requested this book also requested:Evidence is what fascinates Stone Barrington, and before many pages have been turned, he is all that stands between the apparently innocent Allison Manning and the patently evil intent of Sir Winston, whose motives are unclear. What is clear is that the St. Marks' system of justice bears little resemblance to the American courts to which Stone is accustomed and that his smallest error could prove fatal to his client.

Rachel H. from FLEETWOOD, PA wrote on 7/25/2008...A very exciting murder mystery ---- and that is before the two surprises at the ending!
Joyce K. from SALISBURY, NC wrote on 10/30/2007..."One of (his) best...Woods is a pro and this goes by like a summer breeze, with just enough heat to make you sweat."
Fast-paced, filled with enought humor, sex, and clever surprises all the way to the last page to make it thoroughly entertaining amusement.
Stone Barrington only wants a winter getaway from the chill of New York in the beautiful, tropical Caribbean paradise of St. Mark's. But the lawyer, cop gets instead the chance to defend Allison Manning.
This is a page turner. It will keep you guessing right up to the end.
Stone Barrington is on a getaway to the Caribbean paradise of St. Marks when by chance he becomes involved in the murder trial of a beautiful young woman accused of killing her rich husband on board their luxurious yacht and then burying him at sea.
The story continues through the affair with the accused to the conclusion of the trial.
Be warned that the love scenes between Stone and his client are very graphic and may not be to everyone's taste.
The elements of the story and the conclusion are a bit jaw dropping.
All in all, I enjoyed the book.
Out of the 14 Stuart Woods books I have read, "Dead in the Water" was the best. It is full of suspense all the way and it has an ending that is a big surprise.
John W. (One of Wood's best! One in the Stone Barrington series.
