"Stone Barrington's newest client seems to be a magnet for trouble. A poised lady of considerable wealth, she's looking for help discouraging the attentions of a tenacious gentleman. But no sooner does Stone fend off the party in question than his client becomes involved in two lethal crimes. With suspects aplenty, Stone must probe deep into his client's life to find the truth, and he discovers that the heart of the mystery may be a famous missing piece of history, a stunningly beautiful vestige of a bygone era. It's a piece with a long and storied past and untold value, the kind of relic someone might kill to obtain. Among the upper crust nearly everyone has buried a skeleton or two, and it will take all of Stone's investigative powers to determine whose secrets are harmless, and whose are deadly"-- Provided by publisher.

Formulaic submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 19, 2016, 12:47pm ... but if you like the Stuart Woods Stone Barrington series, you'll probably like this. Same basic plot: Barrington's a self made grossly rich and well-connected lawyer who once again comes to the rescue of a very wealthy, extremely attractive and sexually aggressive abused woman being pursued by a former husband, lover, whatever. Words are exchanged, also bodily fluids, and a body/bodies fall. Stone once again solves the crime and makes oodles of money for virtually no work because, as usual, he "knows a guy/guys" and can make the world turn with no more than a few phone calls. What a world!

another of the same submitted by Jhopson on August 25, 2016, 3:42pm These are all starting to blur together. if you've read the last 6, you know how it goes. only takes a few hours to read though.
