Doing Hard Time

Description

Stone Barrington thinks he’s finally earned a breather when he heads to Bel-Air to handle a mix of business and personal matters—only to find that the calm he expects is an illusion. Instead, he’s pulled into the prison system’s harsh realities, where power, procedure, and personal stakes collide in ways that can’t be smoothed over with charm alone. As an unlikely case resurfaces, Stone must navigate dangerous politics and shifting loyalties to uncover what’s really going on behind bars. With Stuart Woods’s signature blend of crisp pacing, courtroom-and-crime intrigue, and larger-than-life confidence, this novel explores justice, resilience, and the thin line between being “resolved” and being forgotten.
