Swimming to Catalina - (Stone Barrington) by Stuart Woods (Paperback)

About the Book

In Hollywood, if you rock the boat, you'd better know how to swim. That's what New York lawyer-turned-investigator Stone Barrington learns the hard way when he goes to Los Angeles in search of an old flame who's disappeared on her new husband. Before it's over, Barrington will take on big-time mobsters, big-screen directors, and a big anchor.

Book Synopsis

"New York Times" bestselling author Stuart Woods kept a nation of readers glued to their seats as one of his best-loved characters, ex-cop-turned-Manhattan attorney and investigator Stone Barrington, battled a viciously corrupt Caribbean minister of justice in "Dead in the Water" and fought the gossip-mongering hordes of the newspaper business in "Dirt, " proving that the line between what's legal and what's lethal can be deadly fire.

From the Back Cover

Stone Barrington thought he'd heard the last of former girlfriend Arrington after she left him to marry Vance Calder, Hollywood's hottest star. The last thing Stone expected was a desperate call from Calder. Arrington has vanished, and her new fiancé wants Stone to come to LA and find her.

In a town where the sharks drive Bentleys and no one can be trusted, Stone soon discovers he's drowning in a sea of empty clues that takes him from Bel Air to Malibu to Rodeo Drive. Running out of time and leads, he needs to keep his head above water and find Arrington fast, or end up swimming with the fishes himself.
