The first novel in the thrilling Stone Barrington Series by #1 New York Times Bestselling author Stuart Woods

Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he's too smart to be a cop, but it’s pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out.

Suddenly he’s on the front page of every New York newspaper, and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country's hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman.

No matter where he turns, the case is waiting for him, haunting his nights and turning his days into a living hell. Stone finds himself caught in a perilous web of unspeakable crimes, dangerous friends, and sexual depravity that has throughout it one common thread: Sasha.

Most of Wood's books have good plots. Stone meets new lady in every book. How is he able to stand on two feet with all that sex. My only problem with Wood's books, is that most of the conversations take place over the phone. Without phone conversations, the stories would crash. But I still enjoy his books as top rated get away-reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Even Good on the Second Read
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2021

I read this book in a tree book edition, probably about 59 Stone Barrington books ago. I didn’t remember much from that first read so it seemed kind of fresh. On this ebook read, I thought the first half of the book was a bit of a snoozer. Admittedly, Mr. Woods was setting the tone and history. The second half of the book was a nail biter, keeping me on the edge of my seat and reading the book every time I had a chance. Lots of suspense and plot twists. Great character development. It’s interesting when you read an older book, you see a lot of outdated language and social mores: some are a bit archaic, some are still very pertinent by today’s standards. Kind of fun: like history in action and repeating itself. Looking forward to reading or re-reading Book 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars His first is better than his last!
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2020

This is my third Stone Barrington novel. I read his latest, "Hit List", first, gave it 2 stars because of a very weak plot and a multitude of grammatical and punctuation errors. I read "Stealth" next, 3 stars, slightly better plot. I decided to start at the beginning, and I really enjoyed this book. I liked Stone in this novel; I didn't like him in the other two. This book has an interesting plot line, personal pathos, well-defined characters and is well written. I'll move on to #2 next. A final comment: in the other two books, the "Authors Note" at the end was a self-serving, impersonal, robotic recitation of who to contact if you wanted something, but nothing about who helped him write/publish the novel. In "New York Dead", the "Acknowledgement" section thanks everyone for their roles; a much more personal response.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arrival of a new team
Reviewed in Japan on August 9, 2002

Though this is the 1st Stone and Dino novel, I have read three of their adventures. In the later works, they had already established their own status and style of life. Their bonds are so steadfast, and they investigate in a very easy-going way. It is a comfortable factor in reading a series of stories. I began to read this book in search of this comfort.
But ‘New York Dead’ is not a novel in this line. Stone was incessantly under the pressure of financial problems; Dino is not married yet; their relationship is little nothing more than a partnership in their job as cops. In other words, they were more human than in the later books.
I like this book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2013

I wish to report a partial fault in the product. The pages from 29 to 64 are not in order: after page 28 comes page 31-32, then 29-30, then 33-34, then 37-38, then 35-36 and so on, making necessary to go backwards and forward to follow the plot. Please feel free to report this to Fontana.
