Book Description:
Stone Barrington is caught between a clever con man-who's just become his client-and a beautiful prosecutor in this stylish thriller in the bestselling series.Members who requested this book also requested:
Two-Dollar Bill delivers all the storytelling twists and whip-smart banter readers have come to love in Stuart Woods's thrillers. In this latest, Stone Barrington, the suave Manhattan cop-turned-lawyer, is back on his home turf facing down a brilliant Southern flimflam man.
The fun-and action-begins with what Stone believes will be a quiet dinner with his ex-partner, Dino, but they are interrupted by Billy Bob, a filthy rich, smooth-talkin' Texan, who strolls in and parks himself at their table. He's in town "to make money," he says, unwrapping his wad of rare two-dollar bills, and in need of an attorney-namely, Stone-though he won't say why or when such representation will be necessary. As they leave the restaurant, however, an unknown assailant shoots at Stone and his cohorts-and the wily Southerner has spread his two-dollar bills around to everyone like confetti.
Against his better judgment, Stone offers Billy Bob a safe haven for the night but almost immediately begins to suspect that he's made several precipitous misjudgments-for the slippery out-of-towner has gone missing and someone has been found dead-in Stone's town house no less. Stone is now caught between a beautiful federal prosecutor and a love from his past, a con man with more aliases than hairs on his head, and a murder investigation that could ruin them all.

Fans of Woods's ex-cop turned lawyer, Stone Barrington, will not be disappointed in this latest entry in the series. This time out, Stone becomes involved with a loud-talking Texan improbably named Billy Bob Barnstormer. It isn't long before Stone regrets ever being introduced to Billy Bob, especially when he leaves a dead body in Stone's guest room. But that is only the beginning of a tale that finds Stone, along with his best friend, Dino Bacchetti, following a twisted trail as they attempt to capture Billy Bob, who, it turns out, is much more dangerous than Stone could ever have imagined.

Barbara L. from LITTLE SILVER, NJ wrote on 7/4/2008...You have to meet Stone Barrington if you haven't before - he's a great character. Totally self absorbed, great intuitive leaps that often land him in the middle of murder and mayhem. There's enough humor in the book to keep you going from page to page.
Donna C. from KENT, WA wrote on 8/15/2007...loved this book couldnt put it down. donna
Anita H. (Another great offering from Woods -- Stone is on the case again.
Carolyn N. (A quick read -- with crime and a sexy plot to boot.
Scott Barrington finds that you brtter not judge other people until have all the facts. A very good crime and sex romp.
Phil G. from GRANTS PASS, OR wrote on 7/21/2006...I hadn't read Stuart Woods before. I'm convinced. Has all the story telling twists and whip-smart banter one could ask for. The Manhattan cop turned suave lawyer chasing down a briliant southern flim-flam man. The characters are well developed and not typical stock! So Billy-Bob, a filthy rich smooth talkin Texan, enters the picture and what develops is just great.
Stuart Woods books get better all the time.
I couldn't put this one down!
