Dark Harbor (Stone Barrington, Bk 12) Author:Stuart Woods
Book Description:
Stone Barrington investigates the secrets of a CIA officer's suicide in this next thriller in the bestselling series Stuart Woods's newest bestseller, Dark Harbor, brings us the perfect mix of sexy intrigue and swift suspense that have earned him legions of fans over the years. In this latest thriller, Stone enters the picturesque town Dark Harbor off the coast of Maine, where the shocking deaths of three people have cast a long shadow over this island haven-a locale as mysterious as it is exclusive.
Stone Barrington hasn't heard from his cousin, Dick Stone, in years-though he has fond memories of a teenage summer spent at his house in Maine. Then, Lance Cabot of the CIA interrupts an otherwise pleasant meal at Elaine's with news of Dick's death-apparently by his own hands. It seems that Dick Stone, a quiet family man who doubled as a CIA agent, methodically executed his wife, daughter, and then himself-or did he? What would cause a loving father and husband to murder his family as they slept? Before his death, Dick had appointed Stone executor of his will, giving him full control of the disposition of a sizable family estate. Was Dick preparing for his suicide, or forewarning Stone of his murder?
With the help of his ex-partner, Dino, and his friend Holly Barker, Stone must settle the estate and piece together the elusive facts of his cousin's life and death as a CIA operative. At every step Stone knows he is being watched by Dick's family-and one of them just may be a killer.

Another great Stone Barrington book. The death of Stone's cousin Dick and his inheritance of Dick's house off the coast of Maine sets off a series of murders in the quiet community of Dark Harbor. The murders are much like the murders of cousin Dick and his family and Stone has to find the killer before he is formally accused of the crimes, after all, who has more to gain than Stone?

Stone is at it again, investigating the suicide of a CIA officer who is this own cousin. Stone travels to Dark Harbor, Maine for this adventure. Some familiar characters (Arrington, Holly Barker, Dino and even Ed Rawls) make an appearance in this novel. A great read, especially for Stone Barrington fans.
