Stuart Woods, Lot of 2, Family Jewels & Blood Orchid, both Hardcover

Description: Blood OrchidProduct InformationBlood Orchidis the third adventure of one of Stuart Woods's most engaging characters, Chief of Police Holly Barker. This time out, Holly is trying to get her life back together after the shattering loss of her fiancé. With the help of her wily Doberman, Daisy, and her father, Ham, she throws herself back into the job with a vengeance. At a local restaurant, Holly and Ham meet a gentleman new to the area, rich and dapper developer Ed Shine, who has found an evocative name for both his favorite flower and his latest real-estate venture: the "Blood Orchid." But before Holly can settle into her routine again, bullets crash into the home of a friend and a floater is found bobbing in the Intercoastal Waterway. Holly connects these events to the death-by-sniper-fire of two Miami businessmen and a man evading questions at a Federal agency-but she can't imagine how these violent occurrences could be related to her own quiet, unspoiled town of Orchid Beach. Joining forces with a handsome FBI agent, she tracks the clues straight to their source, only to find a scam more lucrative and more dangerous than any this idyllic town-or Holly-has ever seen.Product IdentifiersPublisherPenguin BooksISBN-100399149295ISBN-139780399149290eBay Product ID (ePID)2223312Product Key FeaturesFormatHardcoverPublication Year2002AuthorStuart WoodsLanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight22 OzWidth6.4in.Height1.2in.Length9.3in. Family JewelsWhen Stone Barrington takes on a wealthy heiress as his client, he finds himself handling a whole lot of trouble in this "this glossy, modern take on the classic detective story" ( Publishers Weekly ). Stone Barrington's newest client is a poised lady of considerable wealth who's looking for help discouraging the attentions of a tenacious gentleman. But no sooner does Stone fend off the offensive party than his client becomes involved in two lethal crimes. With suspects aplenty, Stone probes deep into his client's life to find the truth, and he discovers that the heart of the mystery may be a stunningly beautiful vestige of a bygone era. It's a piece with a long and storied past and untold value...the kind of relic someone might kill for. Among the upper crust nearly everyone has buried a skeleton or two, and it will take all of Stone's investigative powers to determine whose secrets are harmless, and whose are deadly.Product IdentifiersPublisherPenguin BooksISBN-100399174699ISBN-139780399174698eBay Product ID (ePID)217115318Product Key FeaturesFormatHardcoverPublication Year2016AuthorStuart WoodsLanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight22.6 OzWidth6.4in.Height1.3in.Length9.3in.
