Now two previously published thrillers by the acknowledged master of twisting plots and unrelenting suspense have been combined in a single volume—a pair of critically acclaimed page-turners featuring his tough, complex, and immensely popular hero, Stone Barrington.
New York Dead
NYPD Detective Stone Barrington's investigation into a beautiful TV anchorwoman's twelve-story plunge from the terrace of her Manhattan apartment hits a shocking snag when her body mysteriously vanishes from the ambulance that's racing her to the hospital.
Dead in the Water
Stone Barrington wants only a winter getaway from the chill of New York. But what the ex-cop-turned-lawyer finds instead in the Caribbean paradise of St. Mark is a dangerous puzzle, an imperiled femme fatale, and a strange disappearance at sea.
