Stone Barrington returns to take on an underworld of crime that gives a new meaning to “old money.”
In Stuart Woods’s engaging new thriller, Stone Barrington is lured from Elaine’s to New England, and the genteel but cutthroat world of priceless antiques, historic homes, and lavish country estates. In a place dominated by bluebloods and their inherited wealth, along with the nouveau riche, there are surprisingly few rules of engagement, and Stone finds himself navigating a dangerous course, one where even the most expensive and sought-after status symbols are sometimes stolen and sometimes clever fakes, though no less priceless.

      Edgar-winner Woods's 15th Stone Barrington novel (after Shoot Him if He Runs
      ) finds the familiar cast of characters up to their usual antics: dining at Elaine's, drinking expensive liquor and having fantastic sex. Stone's pal CIA deputy director for operations, Lance Cabot, asks Stone to watch over his brother, Barton Cabot, who's recovering from injuries, amnesia chief among them, after being beaten and robbed. Barton, who builds and sells reproduction antiques, lives in Connecticut, as luck would have it, near a cottage Stone owns. The plot centers on a missing 18th-century mahogany secretary, which is worth in the neighborhood of $24 million, and the theft of hundreds of gold coins from the South Vietnamese government when Barton was commanding a regiment there during the Vietnam War. As always, Stone gets to bed several new beautiful women in the course of pursuing the case. Series fans will find all their expectations nicely fulfilled. Author tour.

      Investigator Stone Barrington has it all: money, good looks, a law degree, and a friend like Dino Bacchetti, the perfect foil for Barrington as straight man. In HOT MAHOGANY, the sixteenth in the Barrington series, he also has a talented narrator. Film actor Tony Roberts has performed so many Barrington books it's hard to imagine anyone else reading them. Plus, he's so darn good at it. Roberts's cocky tone makes Barrington a fascinating character. This time he's investigating the sudden reappearance of the long-lost brother of his old friend Lance Cabot. The mystery deepens as Barrington learns the secret the man has carried since his Vietnam days and how a simple piece of furniture may be the key to it. M.S. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
