Product Description
Stone Barrington is Back! Not a man to dwell on the past, Stone Barrington has no choice but to rattle old skeletons when the people closest to him start dying, and he has little to go on but the suspicion that. the killer may be someone he once knew. The trip down memory lane isn't all bad though, for it reunites Stone with his ex-partner, Dino Bacchetti--now head of detectives in the nineteenth precinct. Trying to find a brilliant killer in a sea of old faces is difficult enough without Stone's former love, Arrington, now Mrs. Vance Calder, resurfacing, too--especially when she sets off her own fireworks coming nose to nose with his latest flame, a Mafia princess as beautiful as she is dangerous.Caught on thrill ride of a case that tests him as none has ever done before, Stone races to find a twisted madman with a taste for blood vengeance, with only a prayer to find him before Stone's worst fears are realized.

 Stone and Dino are like an old married couple August 23, 2007

This book gives us a little more information into the lives of Stone and Dino when they were police partners. It still takes both of them working together to catch the killer.

Top notch writer Stuart Woods keeps the reader spell bound with the curves and twists of this intriguing thriller, "Worst Fears Realized." Stone Barrington and his ex-partner, Dino Bacchetti, fight to find a relentless killer before he eliminates all the people who are close to them. They have their chief suspect but he is in prison when the first murders occur.
Stone has a new lady of the night, Eduardo Bianchi's,a Mob dean, daughter who is the younger sister of Dino's wife.
Sparks fly when Arrington Carter Calder, Stone's long time love, meets up with Dolce Bianchi, who is on the hunt for a husband and won't take no for an answer.
All things are not as they seem, even when it comes to murder. Lawyer/ex-cop/sleuth Stone Barrington gives you a great evening with the printed page. Don't plan on going to bed with a good book, it keeps you turning the pages instead of turning out the light.

A serious page turner - I couldn't put it down April 14, 2006

I read this book in an afternoon - about 4 hours. I literally could not stop turning the pages. This was an absolutely RIVETING chapter in Stone Barrington's life; suspenseful, horrifying and at the same time it sets up a lot of the ground floor for his future as well (the house in CT, his car, etc.). My ONLY complaint (and BOY is it a doozy) is that for some strange reason between the end of the last book (Swimming to Catalina) and the beginning of this book, Stuart Woods apparently got a bug up his butt and decided to change the gender of Vance and Arrington's child for some reason - at the end of the previous book, Arrington called Stone and said she had just had a baby girl, and suddenly in this book, they have a boy. It annoys me when a writer changes continuity like that for no reason.
At any rate, when the book opens, Stone is pining for Arrington and Dino is trying to cheer him up by taking him to a party, where he meets a lovely young woman, who takes him to her place - and they order Chinese food. Unfortunately, the Chinese place cannot deliver, so he must go pick up the food. When he returns, he finds her dead, her throat slit wide open. Things spiral down from there as people first he knows, then Dino knows, are murdered or attacked. Stone and Dino find themselves racing against the clock to try to figure out who is behind this before the next killing - or before Stone himself is fingered for the first murder.
Although the killer (for most of the murders) becomes quite obvious about half-way through the book, it still remains taut as they try to catch him and still remain out of his reach, and there still remains the matter of the first murder and who did that. This is a pleasing work from a great writer. I look forward to the next installment - LA Dead.
 it is not that bad but ... February 27, 2005

It is not that bad, it even has a couple of fine and unexpected twists in the plot. It would deserve three stars, but there are way too many nauseating sex scenes.
another solid read January 4, 2005

while not as good as dirt, LA dead or dead in the water, this is still a really good read for anybody who's a fan of stuart woods, stone barrington, or this particular genre of book...
the return of some familiar faces, some new faces...the sense of continuity in this series is really part of the draw...the events from previous books usually aren't forgotten...but the subsequent books aren't bogged down in exposition of earlier events either...a mention here, a mention there...sometimes you'll find yourself saying 'ohhh, I remember that now!'..
the way in which he ends these books makes you look forward to the next installment as well...they flow pretty seamlessly from one to the next..this is no exception
definetly worth reading...
