I did not read this book, it was read by my husband and given to me "for that book club thing you do." :)
From Amazon.com:
"Last seen cozying up to Holly Barker in Reckless Abandon [BKL Mr 15 04], suave detective-turned-lawyer Stone Barrington is lounging in his favorite restaurant, Elaine's, with his best friend, police lieutenant Dino Bacchetti, when he's approached by lawyer Bill Eggers, who has a new client who has requested Stone by name. Billy Bob Barnstormer is a larger-than-life Texan who wants to keep Stone on retainer and offers him a $50,000 check. Stone is skeptical of Billy Bob, especially when he overhears him setting up business deals with Warren Buffett. Stone's suspicions turn out to be right on target: Billy Bob disappears, leaving a dead prostitute in Stone's guest bedroom. The plot thickens when both Tiffany Baldwin, the U.S. attorney for New York, and Lance Cabot, the CIA operative who occasionally enlists Stone's help, express interest in Billy Bob, who is apparently guilty of everything from fraud to attempting to sell military-style weapons to enemies of the U.S. To make matters worse, Tiffany, who quickly becomes Stone's new love interest, and Lance are vying for jurisdiction over the case, and Billy Bob has made it personal, targeting Stone himself. Typical Woods' fare--fast-paced, glossy, and always entertaining. Kristine Huntley"
