Book Description:
In The Short Forever, the unflappable Stone Barrington comes face to face with two men whose lives are wrapped in shadows and lies-and who both still feel a sting of betrayal they can never forget.

Stone's new client, John Bartholomew, asks him to fly to London in search of a young woman whom he suspects has taken up with a mysterious character. Bartholomew asks Stone to see what he can find to discredit the man, Cabot, which seems a simple enough task, and Stone is eager to spend time in London and with his friend Sarah Buckminster. What Stone finds is more bizarre than he had expected. The woman in question isn't related to Bartholomew in quite the way he had implied. And it appears that Bartholomew and Cabot, who once worked together on a secretive assignment, now have very different versions of what went wrong. When Stone himself is implicated in a shocking double murder, he and his partner, Dino, know they have stepped into a strange case unlike any other.

Cop turned investigator Stone Barrington returns in his 8th adventure. He uncovers a puzzling & dead-earnest rivalry between two American abroad, two men who can never forget.

A little slow in places but I still enjoyed it. I really enjoy this author & have read a good many of his books.

A thrilling experience, and a little hard to understand at times, this book is ideal for those wishing a forensic career, or simply wish to be entertained by something other than "Law and Order" and "Cops." This book has a nice storyline, and a great ending, along with many different encounters. A must read

greatly anticipated the release of this book for quite some time, and I was not let down! This next Stone Barrington book lives up tp the standards!
In this book, Stone ends up overseas in London, working for a man whom he finds out he knows very little about. John Bartholomew, or if that is even his real name, has sent Stone to convince his "neice" to return home to the states. Stone's job is to separate her from her lover, Lance Cabot, who is involved in some "illegal matters".

John and Lance Cabot are always one step ahead of Stone, keeping him guessing as to the truth of what they really are after. Are they really working together in some secret intelligence agency? Or are the rival enemies, both hoping to nail the other? This is what Stone must figure out.

And of course, what book would it be without the appearances of Stone's old time flame Arrington and old NYPD partner Dino Bachetti.

I greatly enjoyed this novel and cannot wait for the next one already! Stuart Woods cannot write them fast enough!

Enjoy!
