โฆ Synopsis
With Dark Harbor, Stuart Woods proved yet again that he is the master of the popular crime novel. Now he outdoes himself with the newest addition to the series. Stone Barrington embarks on his most dangerous adventure yet when he takes on a job as a lawyer for a sleazy and clueless con man and ends up getting embroiled in the underworld of the New York mafia. It started out as just another late night at Elaines, where Stone was eating a porterhouse steak and enjoying the company of his friends. But when Herbie Fisher, a notoriously not-so-sharp swindler, walked in, the pleasant atmosphere turned to ice. Herbie convinces Bill Eggers, the managing partner of Woodman Weld, to sign him on as a client with the goal of taking down the infamous mafia boss Carmine Datilla. And even though Stone doesnt want to have anything to do with Herbie or the mafia, for that matter he is soon coerced into being Herbies lawyer. With the help of his ex-partner, Dino, Stone investigates Datilla the Hun, and the rest of the mob family, encountering intrigue and danger at every turn. Will Stone finally take a stand, or will he end up at the bottom of Sheepshead Bay? With the swift action, razor-sharp characters, and crackling dialogue that are Stuart Woodss hallmarks, Fresh Disasters is Woods at the very height of his storytelling powers.
