One night at Elaine?s, Stone Barrington?back in Manhattan after chasing down the bad guys in the Caribbean?meets Barton Cabot, older brother of his sometime ally, CIA boss Lance Cabot. Barton?s career in army intelligence is even more top secret than his brother?s, but he?s suffering from amnesia following a random act of violence. Amnesia is a dangerous thing in a man whose memory is chockfull of state secrets, so Lance hires Stone to watch Barton?s back. As Stone discovers, Barton is a spy with a rather unusual hobby: building and restoring antique furniture. The genteel world of antiques and coin dealers at first seems a far cry from Stone?s usual underworld of mobsters, murderers, and spies. But Barton also is a man with a past, and one event in particular? in the jungles of Vietnam more than thirty years earlier? is coming back to haunt his present in ways he?d never expected. Stone soon finds out that Barton, and some shady characters of his acquaintance, may be hiding a lot more than just a few forged antiques.

Stuart Woods Continues to Entertain

Stone Barrington and his "friends and lovers" provide another exciting story. Funny, good plot, and great ending say it all. The author made one error in the book and I was able to email him and tell him of the correction. Did not take away from a wonderful story.

Another Barrington winner

I have been a Stuart Woods fan for years and enjoy reading each of his books. I especially like Stone. But in this book, I did get a bit tired of his moving from one bed to another with different ladies. Maybe he wouldn't be as much "fun" if he settled down. But since I'm a hopeless romantic, I'd like to have him stay with one woman----especially in one story. But that's just me.
The story was fun to read---from NYC through New England. There were many twists and turns----always entertaining and very tough to put down. It's a quick read and very easy to finish in a day or two. You'll be wanting more when it's over----and maybe in his next Barrington novel, you'll get more. We can always hope.

So So

I have been a Stuart Woods fan for years, especially the Stone Barrington series. In his most recent release: HOT MAHOGANY (as in HOT reproductions of antiques), this book drifts from NYC to the New England countryside. This book has a little bit of everything: old familiar characters, a few new ones, add a touch of amnesia and some undercover work looking for valuable reproductions and there you have it...HOT MAHOGANY. Honestly, this book left me flat.

I long for the good old Stone Barrington of days gone by.

Convoluted Caper

Stone Barrington is back, this time in a convoluted caper involving a piece of 18th century American furniture worth $25 million. The typical Woods elements are in place - money flows, sexy women appear and disappear and some light violence takes place. All in good fun. Perfect for the next time you need to spend several hours strapped into an airline seat.
