Santa Fe Edge
Ed Eagle sat at his breakfast table and watched his new wife, Susannah Wilde, cook his breakfast. He was a lucky man, he thought.
She set down two plates of huevos rancheros and joined him.
“What are you doing today?” he asked. He was concerned that she might become bored, and he didn’t want that.
“I’m having lunch with a producer I worked with a few years back, Dan Karman. You remember that novel I bought a few weeks ago?”
“Yes, sure.”
“Danny’s written a screenplay based on it, and we’re going to talk about shooting it in Santa Fe.” Susannah was a well-known actress.
“Sounds great,” Eagle replied, and he meant it. He didn’t want her spending a lot of time in L.A., shooting a movie.
“What are you up to?” Susannah asked.
“The usual. I’m having a first meeting with a man who’s been charged with murdering his wife. It happened early this morning.”
“You meet such nice people in your work,” she said.
“Oh, this one’s quite a nice fellow, I’m told, and he might even be innocent.”
“I thought all your clients were innocent.”
“He’s not my client yet,” Eagle replied. “If he’s not innocent now, he will be by the end of the day.”
Susannah laughed. “That’s my Ed,” she said, pouring him a second cup of coffee. “Do you remember a fi lm producer named James Long?”
Eagle put down his coffee. “I certainly do,” he replied. “He’s the guy who furnished Barbara’s alibi in her trial for murdering those people at the Hotel Bel-Air, when she thought she was murdering me.”
“Long has his own production company, backed by inherited wealth, and Danny thinks he might be a good choice to get this film made. How would you feel about that?” Eagle shrugged. “I don’t have anything against the guy,” he said. “I suppose he’s as much Barbara’s victim as I. She drugged him, left the house, shot those two people, then returned before he woke up. He thought she was in bed with him the whole time, and testified to that.” “Long might be the best way to go,” she said. “He puts up a big chunk of the production money, then raises the rest from private investors, so he doesn’t have to take any crap from a studio.”
“Sounds good, but how does he distribute?”
“He has a good track record for making successful films on moderate budgets, so the distributors look on him favorably. Shouldn’t be a problem.” “I liked the novel,” Eagle said. “I hope you get a good screenplay.” “You can read it tonight,” she said, clearing the table.
An hour later Eagle sat in the attorneys’ visiting room at the Santa Fe Municipal Jail, waiting for his prospective client. He read through a single-page report put together by an associate in his firm.
Terrence Hanks, known as Tip, is a twenty-nine-year-old golf professional, born in Delano, Georgia, a small town, and educated in the public schools and on a golf scholarship at Florida State University. He got his PGA Tour card six years ago and moved to Santa Fe two and a half years ago, building a house out at Las Campanas.

Santa Fe Edge
In Santa Fe Edge, Stuart Woods tracks the adventures of his popular crime-fighters, Santa Fe defense attorney Ed Eagle and CIA assistant director Holly Barker, in their pursuit of two of mystery's most cunning fugitives.
Ed Eagle thought his troubles were over when his treacherous ex-wife, Barbara, was sent to a Mexican prison. But Barbara isn’t out of his life yet. Through her warden’s stupidity, lust and greed, Barbara escapes from jail with a wad of cash and the aid of a good friend. And it just so happens that Ed’s wife, Susannah, is filming a movie directed by that man. Ed thinks Jimmy Long was just as duped by the cunning Barbara as he was. When Ed finds out she’s escaped, he sends investigators Cupie Dalton and Apache tracker Vittorio to pick up her trail. He knows Barbara will make a beeline for Santa Fe to kill him. And Barbara knows that if anyone can do the deed, it’s her longtime friend, Jimmy Long.
Meanwhile, Holly Barker and her boss Lance Cabot have their own nemesis to hunt down, for master of disguises Teddy Fay is also heading to Ed’s turf. Fay and his girlfriend, ex-cop Lauren Cade, intend to settle down there…and they won’t let anyone stand in their way.

I liked It! 
May 06, 2012
I'd bought; but, not read several Stuart Woods books because Stone Barrington's sex life was just not my thing. Since this book was in the box with the others, I pulled it out and read it last week. I thought it was better than some of his others; but, was slightly disappointed when the story line continued. I wish he'd just tie this one up.

I was disappointed in this book; again, too much hopping in & out of the bed. No closure at the end either.
