Woods, Stuart Chiefs

During the bitter winter of 1920, the naked body of an unidentified teenage d boy is discovered in a wooded area of a small Georgia town. There is no d irect evidence of murder, but the body bears marks of what seems to be a ri tual beating. The investigation falls into the inexperienced hands of the n ewly appointed chief of police. His intelligent, obsessive hunt for the boy 's tormentor begins a story that ultimately weaves through decades of decei t, hatred, perversion, and political drama that inexorably envelops the liv es of two other chiefs -- one himself a murderer, the other hiding a secret that, if revealed, might destroy not only himself but also the promising c areer of a rising political figure.

Woods, Stuart Dead Eyes
HarperTorch August 29, 1994 0-06-109157-X / 9780061091575 Paperback Very Good
"The first letter arrived on a Monday." So begins the masterfully paced thr iller from the author of Palindrome , Santa Fe Rules , etc. Young Hollywood actress Chris Callaway is poised at the brink of stardom when her world co llapses. Shortly after she begins receiving disquieting letters signed "Adm irer," she is nearly blinded in a fall at the construction site of her new Malibu home. As Admirer becomes a menacing stalker, sending gifts and a gru esome photo and calling on the phone, Chris is stoutly guarded by her best friend and confidant, hairdresser Danny Devere. Also on duty is Beverly Hil ls police detective and stalker expert Jon Larsen. The Admirer soon targets the threesome in escalating attacks that become grisly and, then, murderou s. Meanwhile, Larsen races to investigate the sinister suspects that emerge from the cadre of subcontractors on the Malibu construction team. Woods's style is lean and staccato, if unsubtle, and he's a pro at turning up the s uspense, which is increased here as romance blooms between the cop and the rising star.

Woods, Stuart Dirty Work
Putnam Adult April 14, 2003 0-399-14982-1 / 9780399149825 1st Edition Hardcover Near Fine/Near Fine
A highly collectible first edition, protected in a new brodart wrapper,no i nscriptions or underlining, this is not a 'BOMC' ex-library book; Woods's new mystery is as sleek and engaging as the upper-class lifestyle of its appealing hero, ex-cop-cum-lawyer-cum-private investigator Stone Barrington. Woods (Blood Orchid) rewards Stone (and readers) by bringing back the beautiful British intelligence agent, code-named Carpenter, who first appeared in The Short Forever, the preceding book in this series. But Carpenter brings Stone more than hot sex and clever dinner conversation-she inadvertently draws him into her life-and-death struggle with one of the world's most efficient and intelligent female assassins, La Biche. While on assignment for lawyer Stone, attempting to photograph an adulterous husband in flagrante delicto, a clumsy assistant gets into trouble and falls into the hands of the NYPD and British Intelligence. Stone's pal and ex-partner from his early days on the NYPD, detective Dino Bacchetti, aids in extricating the assistant, but the incriminating photographs soon involve both men in the hunt for La Biche, who is out to kill Carpenter and avenge an old wrong. Friend and foe alike feed outright lies to Stone and Dino as the chameleonic lady assassin piles body upon body. Woods writes in a dry, witty style that keeps all his characters on a likable keel. The amusing repartee between Stone and Dino is memorably funny. In the end, Stone supplies a surprising dose of morality, and the reader finds that there is more to the story than flesh, flash and derring-do.

Woods, Stuart Fresh Disasters
Signet September 4, 20 0-451-22165-6 / 9780451221650 Paperback As New
A crisp clean softcover (as new). Smooth-talking New York lawyer Stone Barrington, along with his sidekick, NYPD detective Dino Bacchetti, get dragged into an impossible case in Stone's entertaining 13th outing (after Dark Harbor). Stone's bosses at the high-class law firm of Woodman and Weld want him to sue major league Mafia don Carmine Dattila for beating up a character from earlier Stone adventures, the hapless Herbie Fisher. It's all pretty much good fun--the snappy repartee, hot sex, dinner at Elaine's, comedic Mafia hoodlums with names like Sammy Tools, Johnny Pop and Dattila the Hun--until the tale turns darker with the introduction of a psychotic sculptor, Devlin Daltry, who's the ex-boyfriend of Stone's current flame, Celia Cox, a tall, fabulously beautiful masseuse. Woods delivers few surprises, but there are plenty of laughs as the pages speed by. Series regulars and newcomers alike will be perfectly satisfied.

Woods, Stuart Heat
Harper Paperbacks January 27, 199 0-06-109358-0 / 9780061093586 Paperback Good
Woods's sixth novel in three years is likely to follow its predecessors ( L .A. Times , etc.) onto bestseller lists. In this artfully plotted thriller, ex-DEA agent Jesse Warden, wrongly convicted of a murder he suspects was t he work of Dan Barker, his former superior, is offered a chance at a presid ential pardon if he will infiltrate the sinister religious cult that has ta ken control of St. Clair, Idaho. Despite knowing that he will again be unde r the control of Barker and that two previous agents investigating the cult have vanished, Jesse can't refuse. Going incognito, he gets a job at the t own's only business not controlled by the cult and is brazenly seduced by h is new landlady, lovely widow Jenny Weatherby. As Jesse sets out to win the confidence of the menacing head of the sect, Jack Gene Coldwater, he comes under close surveillance by Coldwater's two henchmen. In spite of some nea rly fatal mistakes, however, he manages to gain the trust of the charismati c and seemingly psychic cult leader. Meanwhile, Jesse marries Jenny, who's pregnant. Faced with the catch-22 of how to deliver Coldwater and his ruthl ess subordinates to the treacherous Barker, whom he is sure will not come t hrough with the promised pardon, Jesse must find a way to bring himself and his new family to freedom. The ending may strike readers as far too fortui tous, and the pardon premise is old hat ( The Dirty Dozen , etc.), but high melodrama and unexpected twists make this teflon-coated blockbuster busine ss as usual in Wood's practiced hands. $100,000 ad/promo; Literary Guild su per release and Doubleday Book Club alternate; author tour.

Woods, Stuart Shoot Him If He Runs
Signet May 6, 2008 0-451-22360-8 / 9780451223609 Paperback As New
A crisp clean softcover (as new). Tony Roberts shows off his comedic and dramatic skills in Woods's newest addition to the Stone Barrington saga. The elegant cop-turned-lawyer's new adventure has a welcome lightheartedness. He, his crime-fighting paramour, Holly, and their friends Dino and Genevieve fly to the Caribbean island of St. Marks on a sub-rosa assignment from the CIA to find a homicidal rogue agent rumored to be living in disguise on the island paradise. Woods and Roberts guide us through what turns out to be mainly a lovely vacation for the quartet--with cocktails, elaborate dinners and brisk swims along sparkling white sandy nude beaches marred by an assassination or two and a few anxious moments at the hands of the island's police chiefs. The result is more diverting than thrilling, with Roberts adding considerably to the overall entertainment value via his sly use of amusing British, French and clipped East Coast American accents. One of the nasty police chiefs, for example, sounds suspiciously like Peter Sellers's irrepressible Inspector Clouseau.
