Petey's Fiction Review

 

Dirty Work

by Stuart Woods


When former cop Stone Barrington, now an attorney for the prestigious NYC law firm Woodman & Weld, takes on an assignment to help a department store heiress get the goods on her philandering husband, he hires an inept young photographer to take compromising photos. To Barrington, it's just routine dirty work that precedes the typical high society divorce.

Unfortunately, the photog plunges through a skylight, the unfaithful husband ends up dead, and the cheating husband's partner in infidelity disappears amidst the confusion. Suddenly, British agents are involved, and Barrington teams up with his former NYPD partner, Dino Bacchetti, and the beautiful British agent, Carpenter, to search the streets of Manhattan for an elusive assassin.

Dirty Work is a suspense novel in the finest tradition, with Stone Barrington staking out the middle ground somewhere between Paul Madriani and Alex Delaware. Sometimes funny, sometimes brutal, sometimes tragic, the fast-paced action of Stuart Woods' Dirty Work makes it a page-turner from start to finish. Don't miss this first-class thriller and its exciting, unexpected conclusion.

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, with at least eight of them featuring Stone Barrington.
