Petey's Fiction Review

 

Blood Orchid

by Stuart Woods


Holly Barker is Chief of Police of Orchid Beach, Florida, a placid, off-the-beaten-path little town that easily escapes the attention of tourists. But when two property developers are assassinated and a third narrowly escapes a hit shortly before the bidding on a lucrative piece of property is due to commence, Holly soon finds herself teamed with an undercover FBI agent to investigate those crimes and subsequent related murders.

Holly's relentless pursuit of the evildoers places her life in jeopardy and her body directly in the line of fire. Danger mounts as she untangles the mystery and uncovers a criminal conspiracy much bigger and more complex than anything she could possibly imagine.

Blood Orchid is a fast-paced thriller, one of those "page turner" kinds of books that, once you start reading, you don't know when to put it down. Hint: When you get to the end of the last page, it's time to put the book down.

Depending on the season, Stuart Woods lives in Florida, New York City or Maine. An avid pilot, sailor and prolific author, he has more than 30 books to his credit, including the Holly Barker novels Orchid Beach and Orchid Blues, which preceded Blood Orchid.
