Son of Stone by Stuart Woods is the 21st book in the “Stone Barrington” suspense series. Publisher: Putnam, September 2011

After an eventful trip to Bel-Air and a reunion with his sophisticated (and very wealthy) former love, Arrington Calder, Stone Barrington is back in New York, and he’s looking to stay closer to home and cash in on his partnership at Woodman & Weld.

But Arrington has other plans for Stone…including introducing him to the child he fathered many years ago.

Several years have past and Stone is beginning a new chapter in his life when he’s finally able to acknowledgement his son. This story is a departure from the previous entries in this series as I felt this was more of a relationship story than a mystery suspense story. Nonetheless, I did enjoy it.
