Cut and Thrust

Stuart Woods’ Cut and Thrust follows attorney and former prosecutor Stone Barrington as he’s pulled into a high-stakes tangle of crime, money, and personal danger. When a seemingly straightforward case begins to reveal deeper connections—linking influential figures, hidden assets, and a string of suspicious incidents—Stone must navigate both the legal system and the darker undercurrents beneath it. What starts as a search for answers quickly turns into a race against time as threats close in and loyalties are tested. As Stone digs deeper, he finds that the conflict isn’t confined to courtrooms or boardrooms. Rivalries escalate, evidence disappears, and the line between legitimate power and criminal enterprise grows increasingly thin. With his instincts sharpened by experience and his determination undimmed, Stone works to piece together the truth while staying one step ahead of those who want the case buried. Cut and Thrust blends courtroom tension with fast-moving suspense, culminating in a confrontation where every advantage—and every misstep—can be the difference between justice and disaster.
