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. With its swift action, bold characters, and wit as dry as the best martini, Hot Mahogany is another must-read from the pen of a master entertainer.
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
