The Stone Barrington series by Stuart Woods is one of the longest-running thriller franchises in American publishing. Starting with New York Dead in 1991, the series follows Stone Barrington, an ex-NYPD detective turned high-powered attorney in Manhattan. Barrington’s cases bring him into contact with politicians, spies, criminals, and wealthy socialites across the globe.
Woods published new Stone Barrington novels at a rapid pace, sometimes releasing three or four a year. The series grew to include crossover appearances from characters in Woods’s other series, including Holly Barker, Teddy Fay, and Ed Eagle. After Woods’s death in 2022, new authors have continued writing Barrington stories under his name.
