KISSER

Stone Barrington’s appeal as a handsome big city attorney continues in Stuart Wood’s new novel, KISSER. At Elaine’s, his favorite New York City restaurant, Barrington meets Carrie Cox, an aspiring actress and singer intent on landing a big Broadway musical part. In the meantime, she works as a lipstick model for an advertising agency. As a virile, good-looking man, Barrington is exploited by Woods, both in comic relief during tight circumstances and in thematic dramatization.
