Editorial Review:
Holly Barker, the small-town cop turned CIA agent, tracks a master of disguise-and a consummate killer. Iron Orchid, Stuart Woods's latest in the Holly Barker series, pits the no-nonsense cop against a very elusive killer-Teddy Fay, a villain first introduced in Capital Crimes-and the sparks fly. Authorities thought they had seen the last of Teddy Fay-the ex-CIA tech wizard who kills his political targets for sport-when his plane exploded off the coast of Maine. But they underestimated him once, and they're in danger of doing so again. Now they've found irrefutable evidence that he is alive and on his way to hit a group who will never see him coming. Holly, having resigned her position as the Orchid Beach Chief of Police to work for the CIA, joins the elite task force tracking Fay in New York City. There, she begins to suspect that there are boulders being left unturned in the investigation. Fay seems privy to too many secrets-and employs tricks only an insider would know. He begins to pick off America's enemies one by one-and no one seems the wiser. Can Holly trail her quarry and beat him at his own game? Can she get close enough to find him, and still keep her cover? A chance meeting between Holly and Fay kick-starts a high-speed chase through the canyons of midtown Manhattan, the Metropolitan Opera house, Central Park, and the United Nations Plaza, all to prevent another assassination before Fay disappears again-maybe this time for good. With the signature mix of slick repartee and rapid-fire action that has won Stuart Woods many fans over the years, Iron Orchid confirms just why he is a master of the popular crime novel.

Rating:  - Terrible
Not only do I hate this book, just from reading it partially I hate the author as well. This book is a sad attempt to promote the Palestinian genocide. As if we didn't get enough of that through other media.
I hated Teddy Faye right away. I couldn't wait to see him die. But towards the middle of the book, I realized he wasn't being painted as the villian but some type of anti-hero. So I skipped to the end, and read they let him go.
I didn't even get the guy really. A liberal ... Read More

The Margin
Imagine--you're in an airport waiting to board in LA, your destination New York for a one-day business meeting. You've got a lot of sitting-around-doing-nothing time on your hands with flying time, layovers, and cab rides you need something to read, something you can get lost in. Hurry down to the book and magazine store and buy IRON ORCHID. It is an easy read, one you won't want to put down until The End.

The used hard back book I purchased was in excellent condition
and very reasonable.
Rating: - This book don't deserve 1 star!!!
This is my first and last Stuart Woods novel. Fortunate for me, I checked this book on CD out at the library, so it didn't cost me anything. The characters were so lame. No one gets what they deserve in this book. I hated that stupid dog Holly had to take everywhere with her. She seemed like a dumb blond and she, with the exception of Teddy Fay, was the smartest character in the book. This book deserves a NEGATIVE three star rating. The only book this bad in my memory is Patricia Cornwell's Isle of Dogs. ... Read More
