Desperate Measures

By: Stuart Woods

Narrated by: Tony Roberts

Stone Barrington faces down danger on New York's mean streets in the latest thriller from perennial fan favorite Stuart Woods.

Upon returning to the states from a European jaunt, Stone Barrington makes the acquaintance of a stunning woman who seems like she could be an ideal candidate to meet some of his professional--and personal--needs. Before long, though, Stone is put to the task of protecting his new hire when New York City is rocked by a series of disturbing crimes, and it looks as if she might be the next target.

In the city that never sleeps there's always a plot being hatched, and the only recourse is constant vigilance and a bit of luck. But if those defensive systems fail, Stone will have to go head-to-head against some of the most dastardly scum he's ever faced . . .

Critic reviews

"[An] irresistible, luxury-soaked soap opera."--Publishers Weekly

"Woods creates another action-packed thriller for his readers to devour, with plenty of interesting twists and turns that make for a nonstop, can't catch-your-breath read."--Booklist

"Mr. Woods knows how to portray the beautiful people, their manners and mores, their fluid and sparkling conversation, their easy expectations and all the glitter that surrounds and defines them. A master of dialogue, action and atmosphere, the Key West resident has added one more jewel of a thriller-mystery to his ever-growing collection."--Fort Myers Florida Weekly

Ok but somewhat tiring

Story was good but so many books involve SB being a suspect - too many in my opinion

Return to great

this was a wild ride! This was a classic Stone Barrington mystery with multiple story line. This is why I liked these novels. The author had moved away in recent novels but this returned him to greatness.

Typical Stone Barrington (Good Thing!)

Been attempting to catch back up on my Stuart Woods collection after a couple years hiatus. Haven't been disappointed! Keep up the good work Mr. Woods!

Very interesting books

I love reading about this story line. Hope they will have more about his son in them. Have enjoyed each and every one of them.

Absolutely Marvelous!
