Standup Guy

Description

A polished stranger arrives in Stone Barrington’s orbit with a seemingly straightforward legal question—one that hints at both danger and unexpected opportunity. As Stone digs into the case, the investigation carries him from Florida’s sunlit beaches to the high-society enclaves of the Northeast, where privilege masks motives and every favor has a price. With each new lead, Stone must navigate shifting alliances, escalating stakes, and the thin line between respectability and retribution. Blending fast-paced suspense with Woods’s signature wit and courtroom-savvy storytelling, this novel explores loyalty, ambition, and the lengths people will go to protect what they believe they’re owed.
