Fresh Disasters by Stuart Woods
With #12, "Dark Harbor," Stuart Woods proved that he is a master of the popular crime novel. But with #13, "Fresh Disasters," he outdoes himself with a danger-charged addition to the series.

Stone Barrington embarks on his most perilous adventure yet when he becomes the lawyer for a sleazy and clueless con man, and ends up getting embroiled in the underworld of the New York mafia. It starts out as just another night at Elaine's, where Stone is enjoying the company of friends. But, when the notoriously not-so-sharp Herbie Fisher walks in, the pleasant atmosphere turns to ice. Herbie convinces Bill Eggers, managing partner of Woodman & Weld, to sign him as a client - with the goal of taking down the infamous mafia boss Carmine Datilla. And even though Stone doesn't want to have anything to do with Herbie, or the mafia for that matter, he is soon coerced into the job by Eggers. With the help of ex-partner Dino, Stone investigates "Datilla the Hun" and the rest of the family - encountering intrigue and danger at every turn. Will Stone end up at the bottom of Sheepshead Bay?

"Fresh Disasters" is Woods at the very height of his storytelling powers.
