Stone Barrington is called to Bel-Air to oversee an exclusive event that will gather the top echelons of the beau monde: Hollywood starlets, socialites, politicos, billionaires from overseas. It’s a task in which Stone has a personal stake, and one that is made all the more pleasurable—though somewhat more complicated—with the arrivals of two beautiful women with whom he’s intimately acquainted. But the grand occasion has also attracted a dangerous criminal group with sinister plans. The hunt to find them leads Stone into a complex web of deceit and misdirection, in a world where the intrigues of government intelligence collide with the clandestine machinations of the upper crust. As he draws nearer to his quarry, he realizes that the stakes are higher than anybody could ever imagine . . . and that the enemies he’s seeking might just be hiding in plain sight.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Woods’ fiftieth book pits the indefatigable Stone Barrington against a nest of terrorists who are insanely determined to turn the opening of a luxurious Bel-Air hotel into a bloodbath. Intense and then more intense.” —Barnes&Noble.com, editorial review
“Bestseller Woods’ fiftieth novel, the twenty-fourth entry in his Stone Barrington, boasts an all-star lineup, from series fixtures such as Lieutenant Dino Bacchetti and lawyer Herbie Fisher to Woods’ other series leads, notably US president Will Lee and Holly Barker of the CIA.…The glittering assembly of guests, including Lee and the Mexican president, makes the affair a prime terrorist target. Hints of a clever plan for a horrific attack reach members of various security agencies, who scramble to prevent it. Meanwhile, Stone and his guests try to enjoy the opulent setting with their usual accompaniments of good food, good drink, and good sex. Woods expertly mixes familiar ingredients to produce an intoxicating cocktail that goes down easily.” —Publishers Weekly
“While Stuart Woods has proven time and time again that he’s a master of suspense who keeps his readers frantically turning the pages, he has even managed to top himself with Severe Clear.” —BookReporter.com
“Woods returns to form in his twenty-fourth Stone Barrington mystery, also his fiftieth novel…Excising much of the flab and needless repetition of his recent entries in the series, Woods juggles his large cast expertly, avoiding in his well-drawn main villain the clichés usually associated with terrorists. Inspired by the hectic pace, Tony Roberts offers an even livelier reading than usual, reducing the archness that occasionally creeps into his performances. Verdict: Severe Clear should delight fans of the series as well as thriller fans generally.” —Library Journal (audio review)
“There’s a lot of plot and background to set up, and Roberts handles it clearly.”  —AudioFile
