Stone Barrington enters the cutthroat fray of politics in the exceptional new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Stuart Woods.

When Stone Barrington travels to Los Angeles for the biggest political convention of the year, he finds the scene quite shaken up: a dazzling newcomer—and close friend of Stone’s—has given the delegates an unexpected choice, crucial alliances are made and broken behind closed doors, and it seems that more than one seat may be up for grabs. And amid the ambitious schemers and hangers-on are a few people who may use the chaotic events as cover for more sinister plans. . . .

In this milieu of glad-handing and backroom deals, only the canniest player can come out on top . . . and it will take all of Stone’s discretion and powers of persuasion to arrange a desirable outcome.

I enjoy mr woods normally but I don’t like him to be political. I don’t care what he thinks.

Stuart woods shouldn’t go political.

Overall I enjoyed most of this Stone Barrington story. What I didn't care for was all the political "yada yada". Frankly politicians bore me. I'd rather read a police type mystery with a lot of twists and turns.

Fair to middlin'

the books I so much enjoyed up until now have been suddenly politicized and all to one side. I still enjoyed it and will keep listening unless it gets too much

suddenly politicized! Not cool

Lots of things going on for the gang. Things keep building for future books, but this one ends early.
