Product Description
One night at Elaine’s, Stone Barrington—back in Manhattan after chasing down the bad guys in the Caribbean—meets Barton Cabot, older brother of his sometime ally, CIA boss Lance Cabot. Barton’s career in army intelligence is even more top secret than his brother’s, but he’s suffering from amnesia following a random act of violence. Amnesia is a dangerous thing in a man whose memory is chockfull of state secrets, so Lance hires Stone to watch Barton’s back. As Stone discovers, Barton is a spy with a rather unusual hobby: building and restoring antique furniture. The genteel world of antiques and coin dealers at first seems a far cry from Stone’s usual underworld of mobsters, murderers, and spies. But Barton also is a man with a past, and one event in particular— in the jungles of Vietnam more than thirty years earlier— is coming back to haunt his present in ways he’d never expected. Stone soon finds out that Barton, and some shady characters of his acquaintance, may be hiding a lot more than just a few forged antiques.

Selected this one from emmagoldmanzine's Mystery Bookbox - Round #2. It looks great. Thanks for including it.
A really good book that moved along quickly. Stone Barrington is drawn into the world of antiques and while this is a tame mystery it is worth a read.
Now ready for a new reader.

I snagged this book from bookstogive's "Traveling and making new friends" book box.
A nice little mystery set amoung New England's antiques, historic homes, and country estates. A good read.
I took this from love2cook's bookshelf, so guess I'd better put it back so she can read it.

Caught from fathermurphy
This is another good Stone Barrington mystery. Centering around a stolen, beautiful, very expensive , mahogany, antique secretary and a replica. It was a fast, easy enjoyable read.
Releasing to bookstogive for her reading pleasure.
