Hothouse Orchid (Large Print)
After Special Agent Holly Barker lets fugitive Teddy Fay slip through her fingers a second time, the CIA thinks she might want a long vacation. So Holly returns to her hometown of Orchid Beach, Florida, where she had been police chief for many years.
But a very unpleasant surprise awaits her. Many years earlier, Holly and another female army officer had brought charges against their predatory commanding officer, James Bruno. Bruno was acquitted of all charges and now has also left the army—for a job as the new police chief of Orchid Beach.
When women start turning up brutally raped and murdered, Holly suspects Bruno. But a bigger problem may be her old nemesis, Teddy Fay...who has quietly taken up residence in Orchid Beach.

Barker over Stone
November 07, 2009
I have read 10 Stuart Woods novels,although most of them have been Stone Barrington. I found Hot House Orchid with Holly Barker and her female co-harts very refreshing.The gender change was well done,and story line was smokin till the end.Look forward to the next Barker shindig. Thanks Carol Ryan
