Cold Paradise (Stone Barrington, #7)

Stuart Woods

Palm Beach is the most glamorous scene-of-the-crime yet for cop-turned-lawyer and investigator Stone Barrington.

He becomes reacquainted with a case he thought was buried years ago. While luxuriating in Florida's winter warmth, he is stunned to recognize someone he thought was dead. Former client Allison Manning, last seen condemned to death in St. Mark's in the Caribbean! She needs Stone's help once again. Should we mention there are also a few other romantic entanglements that haunt him in Florida as well?
