Holly Barker, the small-town cop turned CIA agent, tracks a master of disguise-and a consummate killer. Iron Orchid, Stuart Woodss 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 theyre in danger of doing so again. Now theyve 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.
