Publisher's Summary

The unflappable Stone Barrington comes face to face with two men whose lives are wrapped in shadows and lies - and who both still feel the sting of betrayal they can never forget.

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Hired by an odd client previously unknown to him, Stone arrives in London on a mission he thinks he understands but doesn't. Soon he finds himself not only out of his territory but out of his depth as well. Baffled as he is by the behavior of both his quarry and his client, Stone's life is further complicated by two, possibly three murders and the affectionate attentions of two former lovers. When the intelligence services of three countries become involved, he can only hang on for a wild ride and hope for a not-too-bumpy landing.

What the critics say

“[A] speedy tale...Bombshell revelations and multiple resolutions combine with the cinematic plot for a perfect flight or beach read.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Mr. Woods, like his characters, has an appealing way of making things nice and clear.” (The New York Times)

“Woods certainly knows how to keep the pages turning.” (Booklist)
