Shoot Him If He Runs

By: Stuart Woods

Narrated by: Tony Roberts

Stone Barrington and Holly Barker pursue a master spy and murderer in a tropical paradise that’s getting hotter by the minute…

Teddy Fay, the rogue agent last seen escaping from an imploding building in Iron Orchid, has been considered dead for some time now. But President Will Lee thinks Teddy may still be alive. In a top-secret Oval Office meeting, Stone learns that he and his cohorts, Holly Barker and Dino Bacchetti, are being sent to the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Marks, courtesy of the CIA, to track down Teddy once and for all.

St. Marks is a vacationers’ paradise, but its luxurious beach clubs and secluded mountain villas are home to corrupt local politicians and more than a few American expats with murky personal histories. Stone and Holly soon discover that in St. Marks, everyone is hiding something—and that Teddy Fay may just be hiding in plain sight.©2007 Stuart Woods; (P)2007 Penguin Audio, a member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc., and Books on Tape.

Ex cel lent reading

The story and reader were very good, however the book tended to repeat chapters over and over again. It is not the fault of my iPad because I have read many, many other books on it and NEVER had this problem. I hope this matter will be fixed soon.

What you would expect...

...from Stuart Woods. Somewhat superficial, slightly unbelievable and highly entertaining. I don't think I would ever rate one of his works a "5", but I do enjoy the listen. But don't look for anything too deep.

Another interesting time on St. Mark's

It is always interesting when Stone goes to the island of St. Marks and this book is proof of that. Great read.

Not bad

Not my favorite Stone Barrington Novel. It seems that the story drags when other characters are brought in from another series. I love the Holly Barker series as well but the same thing happens in those with Teddy.

Great characters and dialogue

This narrator is the best. I live the pace and the tone. Every character is distinguishable.
