About Bombshell
Product Description Teddy Fay returns to La-La Land, in the latest thriller from #1 New York Times-bestselling author Stuart Woods. Teddy Fay is back in Hollywood and caught in two tricky situations. First, a rising star at Centurion becomes the target of malicious gossip, and Teddy must find and neutralize the source before the situation gets out of hand--or becomes violent. At the same time, Teddy finds himself targeted by a criminal thug bearing a grudge. It's a lot of knives to juggle, even for a former CIA-operative-turned-movie-producer accustomed to hazardous working conditions. This time Teddy will need to leverage every bit of his undercover skills and fearless daring to stay one step ahead of his foes . . . or he'll find himself one foot in the grave.

He grabbed the remote control from the nightstand and clicked on the monitor of the high-tech security system Mike Freeman had installed in his house. A dozen views appeared showing the exterior, a red dot pinpointing the source of the break-in. Another click of a button and the image moved to fill the screen; Teddy could see a burly man attempting to get through the living room window. He was being thwarted by a second pane of glass that was far sturdier than the one he'd just broken. Teddy grabbed a gun, slipped down the stairs, out a side door, crept up on the man, and jabbed the gun in his back. The man whirled around and lunged for the gun. Teddy groaned. Really? If Teddy had wanted to shoot him, the man would be dead. A mere burglar wouldn't take that chance. Was he a hired assassin, or just dumb? Teddy spun around and chopped down on the man's arm. The intruder howled in pain, but he wasn't done. He shoved his wounded hand into his pocket and came out with a snub-nosed revolver. Teddy almost felt sorry for him. The man's hand was numb, and he could hardly hold the gun. Teddy batted it away. Three armored security vans roared up the driveway. A squad of Strategic Services agents poured out, guns drawn. "Relax, gentlemen," Teddy said. "The situation seems to be in hand." A young agent who appeared to be in charge said, "You're Billy Barnett?" "At your service." "Your system registered a security breach. Is this the intruder?" "That he is." "We'll be happy to take him off your hands." "I doubt if you'll have him long. The system is also linked to the police. I believe that's them now." A police car came up the drive with its red and blue lights flashing. A uniformed officer climbed out of the driver's seat, surveilled the scene, and said laconically, "What's all this?" "Attempted B and E," Teddy said. "I'm the homeowner. That's the intruder. These gentlemen are private security guards who responded to my alarm." The officer turned to the agent. "You apprehended the intruder in the attempt to break and enter?" The agent shook his head. "The homeowner apprehen
