description: It's double the pleasure and double the fun as Stuart Woods brings series character Holly Barker of 'Orchid Blues,' she's chief of Florida's Orchid Beach Police Department, onstage to co-star with lawyer and PI Stone Barrington in the latest of Stone's adventures.Holly has come to New York hot on the trail of Trini Rodriguez, a bad guy she thought she'd stabbed to death in an earlier adventure. He's currently wanted for (among other things) blowing up a dozen people by hiding bombs in the caskets of two of his earlier victims and detonating them at the funeral! But finding him won't be so simple: he's been placed in the FBI Witness Protection Program and is working with the Feds and the CIA to catch an Arab terrorist group trying to employ the Mafia in a money-laundering scheme.Will readers find this one riveting? Of course!
