Edgar-winner Woods's 15th Stone Barrington novel finds the familiar cast of characters up to their usual antics: dining at Elaine's, drinking expensive liquor, and having fantastic sex.

Barton, who builds and sells reproduction antiques, lives in Connecticut, as luck would have it, near a cottage Stone owns. The plot centers on a missing 18th-century mahogany secretary, which is worth in the neighborhood of 24 million, and the theft of hundreds of gold coins from the South Vietnamese government when Barton was commanding a regiment there during the Vietnam War. As always, Stone gets to bed several new beautiful women in the course of pursuing the case.
