Not the best of the Stone Barrington books.

D.C. Dead (2011) follows up the previous book where sons of both Stone and his sidekick, Lt. Dino Bacchetti, NYPD, are gone to Yale.

President Will Lee calls the duo to Washington to investigate the murder of Emily Kendrick on the White House grounds.

I found the plot too absurd. Barrington sleeps with a series of women, most of whom are killed immediately after.

The clues are dumb. Dino and Stone perpetually at a loss to find the killer.

Skip this one.
