About this eBook
Stuart Woods brings back small-town police chief Holly Barker—and her extraordinary Doberman, Daisy—for another exhilarating adventure in this New York Times bestseller.
When Holly Barker’s wedding festivities are shattered by a brutal robbery, she vows to find the culprits. With nothing to go on but the inexplicable killing of an innocent bystander, Holly discovers evidence that leads her into the midst of a clan whose members are as mysterious as they are zealous. Holly’s father, Ham, a retired army master sergeant, is her ticket into their strange world. What he finds there boggles the mind and sucks them all—Holly, Ham, and Daisy—into a whirlpool of crazed criminality from which even the FBI can’t save them...

I have read the entire Holly Barker series and was truly hoping for more to come in this series but for some reason, the Stone Barrington series took over. The two series entertwined for a short span, leaving Holly Barker behind which I found very disappointing. However, the Holly Barker series is definitely worthy of reading and I would rate it a 10, on a scale of 1-10, in my reading opinion but since I am only offered a 1-5 scale the 5 gets my vote. Reading the series again and I would recommend anyone that enjoys police/crime/drama with a bit of comedy, romance and mystery all in one book to read the series also. Who knows, maybe Mr Woods will catch on and give us more of the dearly loved Holly Barker... it's never too late to bring her to the front line and add more to this series.
