Stone Barrington tracks a mobster within the witness protection program—with a little help from Florida police chief Holly Barker—in this “full-throttle”* thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Stone Barrington is, once again, right at home in New York City. But this time he’s joined by the tenacious Holly Barker—the lady police chief of Orchid Island, Florida. She’s come to Manhattan hot on the trail of a fugitive from her jurisdiction. And Stone is, well, glad to see her, right up until the moment when her presence creates a great danger to both of them—and to their surprise, she becomes the pursued instead of the pursuer...

Interesting, a little long, but definitely enjoyable for a Stone fan. Guess it builds on the relationships with Holly, Carpenter and Lance for later books.
Taken out of the series, its one of Woods poorer plots.

Early Stone Good Read !

I wanted something interesting to listen in my car on a trip; lighter prose works best. This story fit the bill; however nothing here to stretch your imagination or intellect!
Narrator is good and easy to listen to.

Not a bran teaser

Books 1-3 in this series were really enjoyable. Well written with a good plot and enjoyable characters. Unfortunately it seems little of that made it into this book. Holly is a completely different person in this book- reckless, foolish and downright annoying .

Weak link in the Holly Barker series
