The St. Marks Minister of Justice sees this case as a stepping stone to the Prime Minister's post, and he prosecutes Allison for the murder of her husband, a famous and wealthy novelist who was covered by a $12 million insurance policy. When Stone learns that the St. Marks' system of justice is designed to send the defendant straight to the gallows, he launches an aggressive defense and public relations campaing to win Allison's freedom. As the personal relationship between attorney and client heats us, Stone has difficulty acting on her behalf, especially as his suspicions about her innocence become as aroused as his libido.
Stuart Woods' latest novel is a brief trip to the Islands that is sure to delight. He once again proves he is a master of his craft. His amusing, simple character descriptions and straightforward but intriguing plot bring the story to life. With tropical drinks to cool the characters from the sultry climate, political intrigue and a passionate affair, Woods creates a story of which most readers should enjoy being a part and which would make an interesting film. Dead in the Water is just the ticket to shake those winter blues.
