Jesse Warden is at the end of his rope. Imprisoned unjustly (or, at least, for the wrong crime), he spends half his time in solitary confinement and the other half fighting with convicts who want to kill him because he was once a cop.
Then, at his lowest ebb, he is offered a way out. To earn his freedom, he must infiltrate a dangerous and reclusive religious cult in the mountains of the Idaho panhandle, a mission that turns out to be a great deal more perilous than his stay in prison.
From his first day in the Idaho town, Jesse finds every aspect of life � especially his life � controlled by the strange and dangerous Jack Gene Coldwater, leader of the cult, and his investigation reveals much more than he had imagined.
In a gripping climax, Jesse is pitted against not only Coldwater and his cult, but also the leaders of the federal agency who sent him there � and there is no one he can trust.

About the author
Stuart Woods
327Ìýbooks3,135ÌýfollowersStuart Woods was an American novelist best known for Chiefs and his long-running Stone Barrington series. A Georgia native, he initially pursued a career in advertising before relocating to England and Ireland, where he developed a passion for sailing. His love for the sport led him to write his first published work, Blue Water, Green Skipper, about his experiences in a transatlantic yacht race.
His debut novel, Chiefs, was inspired by a family story about his grandfather, a police chief. The book, a gripping crime saga spanning several decades, won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel and was later adapted into a television miniseries. It launched Woods' career as a novelist, leading to a prolific output of thrillers.
Woods' most famous creation, Stone Barrington, is a former NYPD detective turned high-profile lawyer who navigates elite circles while solving crimes. The series became a bestseller and remained a staple of his career, often featuring crossover characters from his other books, such as CIA operative Holly Barker and defense lawyer Ed Eagle.
Beyond writing, Woods was an experienced pilot and yachtsman. He maintained homes in Florida, Maine, and New Mexico, where he lived with his wife and their Labrador, Fred. His literary career spanned decades, with dozens of bestsellers to his name.

Woods is a very prolific writer. His recent work strikes me as formulaic, albeit very readable. I like the Ed Eagle books and the Holly Barker books better than the Barrington series, but that may just be me. All of these strike me as superficial compared to his earlier works, of which this is one. There is a wealth of detail, the plot is clean (it develops much like a police procedural), character development shows a shrewd eye toward human nature, and tension builds right up to the epilogue.

A page-turner from start to finish. This novel is the type you truly cannot put down once you've opened it.
Jesse Warden is a wrongly-convicted lawman who gets another chance at freedom by working undercover in the Idaho panhandle. In a seemingly small town he meets a larger-than-life self-appointed messiah in the name of Jack Gene Coldwater. But Coldwater has other ideas less than heavenly. In truth he is leader of a white supremacy cult hell-bent on waging war against the federal government, and Jesse must expose how Coldwater plans to wage this war.
Along the way he meets a beautiful, single mother with a dark secret who he falls in love with and must decide on putting her life in danger by continuing to dig into the lives of Coldwater and his gang, or leave the country for good.
There are many twists in this story (all plausible), and the writing from Woods is top-notch (as usual). He did his research well, and this is shown in the descriptions of the undercover work Jesse goes through, with a climatic ending. You won't want to pass up this book.

I enjoyed this audiobook on balance, although the plot was beyond belief at times. The publisher's summary gives an outline of the story. Roughly speaking, the first half is of the book is more or less a mystery; the second is more like a thriller. Stuart Woods is a good writer, with vivid characters and descriptions. The plot however is a bit over the top, with an ordinary, self-educated man (Jesse) transformed into a kind of superhero by the end.
This version is narrated by Tony Roberts, who does a good job but reads much too slowly for my taste. I listened to most of the book at twice regular speed but which sounded almost normal, whereas I usually cannot even understand a a reader at that rate. This is 11 hrs, 19 min long, which may be compared with an older edition, narrated by Richard Ferrone, that lasts only 10hrs, 15 min, more than an hour shorter, and Ferrone is not a particularly fast speaker. Other readers who are satisfied with thrilling adventures for their own sake understandably gave this book a higher rating.
The leader of a religious cult, Jack Gene Coldwater, is a kind of fanatic fostering a following in a small, remote town in Idaho by both personal charisma and ruthless power. Although he does get off on exercising power and authority, he does not seem to take great pleasure in it. It is just a means to a narcisstic but obscure end.
Another issue with the plot was this: Jesse's wife had died, although they had a daugher on whom he doted. When he went to jail, presumably for life, his daughter was not put into foster care but put up for adoption without his consent. (This is in the early 1990's.) Perhaps a reader more knowledgeable than I can tell me whether that is even legally possible.

At a suggestion of a friend, I started reading Stuart Woods' books from the beginning, after I randomly picked (and read) NY Dead. She mentioned that Woods often brings back the same characters, so I should read the books chronologically. For the most part, I have been pretty impressed, and his books have been entertaining. The last 3 LA Times, Dead Eyes and Heat have been his weakest efforts. So I am on a streak with his books that assume (and hope) gets better.
I was initially turned off by the author's habit of painting anti-abortion advocates as all wild eyed abortion clinic bombers. I just never got in to this book, or felt it was anyway believable.

If you've ready one Stuart Woods book, you've pretty much read them all, although this is one of the few that doesn't feature one of Woods' usual main characters. Instead, it's about Jesse Warden, an ex-DEA agent who spent years in prison for a murder he didn't do, and is offered the chance at a pardon if he can take down a religious cult who control a small town in Idaho. It is a typical Woods book, in that Warden meets a young attractive women, sleeps with her a few pages later, and is in a committed relationship with her a few chapters after that. But the mystery and the action are top-notch and the book is very enjoyable.

I thought I'd pick up one of Stuart Woods's smaller non-series books to check it out. I was very disappointed. The summary talked about a guy who gets out of prison to infiltrate a radical cult. It was less about the cult and more about the characters.

A good read. A typical Stuart woods book. Very serious with ridiculous moments. Overall I did enjoy the book and the characters.

I liked this book. It's a good suspense novel. Richard Ferrone is the narrator and I really like him as well. He is the narrator for John Sandford's Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers series. He adds to the suspense of the story.

Awesome Read
I couldn’t put this book down. It was a little flat in places but engaging enough that I didn’t want to put it down.

This was not Stuart Woods at his best... or even mediocre. Started out in good form/interesting. Then it fell apart. There is no character development of any kind. The main character reveals all his secrets/past to the new girlfriend which didn't play real, as one example. The entire last ¾ of the novel felt as if it were hurriedly written so as to meet deadline with publisher. Skipped most of last part of story and didn't miss anything. There are too many good books out to be read. This was a waste of time. Thankfully it was a library loan.

Good little suspense story. A bit too unrealistic, but a fun read.

This 1994 stand-alone thriller by author Stuart Woods is the 6th of 8 stand-alones before he devoted the next 70 novels to the Stone Barrington universe. It is not great literature, but does show plotting of increasing complexity and is highly entertaining. Betrayal, revenge, loyalty, friendship, love, deviousness, and ingenuity are all evidenced by out protagonist in one or more of his personas. I greatly enjoyed it and only regret that as a fan of the Barrington novels there will not be numerous sequels.
Ex-DEA agent Jesse Warden, wrongly convicted of a murder he suspects was the work of Dan Barker, his former superior, is offered a chance at a presidential pardon if he will infiltrate the sinister religious cult that has taken control of St. Clair, Idaho. Despite knowing that he will again be under the control of Barker and that two previous agents investigating the cult have vanished, Jesse can't refuse. Going incognito, he gets a job at the town's only business not controlled by the cult and is brazenly seduced by his new landlady, lovely widow Jenny Weatherby. As Jesse sets out to win the confidence of the menacing head of the sect, Jack Gene Coldwater, he comes under close surveillance by Coldwater's two henchmen. In spite of some nearly fatal mistakes, however, he manages to gain the trust of the charismatic and seemingly psychic cult leader. Meanwhile, Jesse marries Jenny, who's pregnant. Faced with the catch-22 of how to deliver Coldwater and his ruthless subordinates to the treacherous Barker, whom he is sure will not come through with the promised pardon, Jesse must find a way to bring himself and his new family to freedom.

SO why did I only give this book a 1 star rating? 1. It was way too long - yet had little believable substance. 2. the hillbilly voice this audiobook was given made the hero sound like a pathetic - well Hillbilly. And therefore I was not able to combine some of his smart moves and knowledge with the voice of someone who sounds like a mental defective. Sorry it just didn't work for me. 3. I could relate to none of the people, none of them seemed real. 4. the whole book felt like it was put together out of puzzle pieces. Like one piece of hillbilly, one piece of love interest, one piece of long lost daughter, one piece of injustice, one piece of cult leader, etc. . And yet this doesn't make one good book, even if all the pieces are there. The connection between them was insufficient and left me cold. The whole book felt like someone was put together according to a site plan for a book, not a book that evolves naturally. I didn't feel the love between the protagonists, her role was pathetically small and stereotypical female with no contribution other than weakness. The women were all portrayed as weak and in-consequential. The cult was insufficiently portrayed. None of the background people to run a cult was mentioned. It was just like half a book had been written and before it was fleshed out and made whole it was sent to the printer, and yet it still felt overly full. It just didn't work for me. I really only finished it because I wanted the credit after listening for quite a while hoping it would get better.

This book was a really good thriller from start to finish, I’ve never actually read any other thrillers before so this was a first for me. The character development was pretty good for all characters, and the plot was clean as well. The main character Jesse warden had a great character arc and motivation to get through the book.
However there was some questions that were left unanswered for me. Like, at one point Jenny was pregnant with Jesse’s baby and it was a big announcement, but I was waiting at the end of the book for ANY reveal of the baby (there was none.) which makes me wonder if the author just completely forgot about it, or maybe I didn’t notice when the baby was revealed? I dunno.
The author is really great at describing setting and writing the problems that the main character has to go through. But I did think we could’ve gone deeper into the thought process of Jesse warden, was he scared during the whole mission? Did he struggle at all? It just seemed like he did the whole thing perfectly and seamlessly, his character didn’t have much struggle for solving problems.
Overall though I give this book three stars cause the plot was great and certainly had me on the edge of my seat at times, I do recommend for those who like 90s classic thrillers!!

Even though there were a few implausible situations (which caused me to dock it a star) this was a great read. The characters were well-drawn (with the exception of Jenny) and the plot and pace were awesome. Once you get to about page 100 you might as well plan on reading it all the way to the end.
Ex-DEA agent Jesse Warden has seen enough of the inside of a solitary confinement cell to last him a lifetime. Or two lifetimes, which is the sentence he's serving after being convicted of a plan he was planning to commit, but never did. So when an old buddy shows up with a deal that could spring him from his hell behind bars, he's ready to listen.
To gain his freedom, Jesse must infiltrate a dangerous and reclusive religious cult that has been stockpiling weapons and eliminating those sent to investigate. From the moment he arrives in the Idaho mountain town where the cult is centered, Jesse finds every aspect of life dictated by the group's eerie, imposing leader. Pitted against not only the cult, but also the feds who sent him, Jesse feels control of his own life slipping away, and must make a final,desperate attempt to regain it -- or die trying.
A must read for fans of thrillers and mysteries.

An action-packed, fast-paced novel full of intrigue, mystery, thrills and romance!
This is the first book I read by this author and he's been around for some time. This page-turner made it hard to stop reading long enough to do other things. It takes place in the pan-handle of Idaho where a glorified white supremacist, church leader pretty much owns the town they live in.
Jesse is an ex-cop out on bail for a crime he didn't commit. If he succeeds infiltrating the religious cult and helps the FBI and Justice Dept bring down the leader, Jack Gene Coldwater, he'll earn his freedom.
But this operation is riddled with traps. Firstly, the cult are expecting the FBI to send someone to their town for just that kind of mission. Secondly, the town police chief is a personal friend of Coldwater, and he has eyes everywhere.
Jesse has to somehow work his way into their tight-knit sphere with informers and the danger of being caught at every turn.
This is a book leaving you wishing for more. Too bad there's no sequel.

Jesse finds himself brought out of solitary confinement just as usual, to fight yet another burly inmate.
This time however, he is being released to an assistant Attorney General. Once an agent himself, he had been incarcerated for killing his former partner and stealing money. His task is to go undercover in a small mountain town to see what is going on. There seems to be something going on with the local large Church. As Jesse infiltrates the clan of one Gene Cold water and his cronies, he finds danger and deception on a much larger scale. Can he get the goods on this organization to gain his freedom or will they find him out and kill yet another agent. Will he ever see his young daughter again?

To be honest, I first found a Stuart Woods novel on the $6.98 table at B & N and found Stone Barrington a likable if inane character. When I wanted a mindless read, I would pick up another one until recently when I had decided I could NOT read another description of what Stone, Dino and Viv were eating at Patroon, their favorite restaurant, or details of yet another sexual escapade. And then I found “Heat� on a “Free� table outside a used bookstore. Wow! Was this written by the same author?! Fast paced, exciting, in-depth character development, no dinner details, and no Harlequin narratives - blown away. Guess I’ll be searching out for Stuart Wood’s earlier works!

The dates read might indicate that I am the world's slowest listener. Actually, my husband and I started this audiobook on a trip in May. We were close to finishing when the trip was over. My husband never likes to just finish an audiobook separately and our own car doesn't have a means to listen. We took another road trip recently and finished.
Anyway, we both really enjoyed the story. There are parts that call for a little suspension of disbelief, but there usually are in this sort of thing.

This was a decent book about a former DEA agent supposedly incarcerated under false pretenses. He is taken out of prison to infiltrate a religious cult that is a front for weapons sales. I don’t like the “romantic� part of it. The woman he meets is too two-dimensional and Woods could have done more with the cult side of it all. It seems like a lot was made of the kids being brainwashed and nothing was done with it.

I’ve been a Stone Barrington fan since discovering the series a few years ago...with the exception of a few books😉So listening to this short audiobook was a pleasant surprise and now I better understand the loyal Stuart Woods fans as they mention how much better his earlier books were written. As for this story - I thoroughly enjoyed it! I listened to the audiobook and as always Tony Roberts narration is spot on.
December 20, 2024
I'd read (or listened to) an abridged recording of this book many years ago and liked it a lot. The full version is even better. An ex federal agent (and somewhat crooked at the time) man is given a chance to redeem him self to take down a cult leader. In the process, he falls in love and the story builds from there. Great story and great writing. I never read any other books by Stuart Woods...maybe I need to give him a try.

Really great book by a favorite author
I’m a Stuart Woods fan and love his Stone Barrington series. I don’t know how I missed this book when it was originally published but I’m SO GLAD I found it now. Great “can’t-put-it-down� book. Different and somehow better than Woods� other books. Recommended!

First of all I was misled on line. Next to the name of the book you'll find (Will Lee Book). I enjoy this series so without hesitation I ordered it. Although curious as to why it was mentioned as a "Will Lee Book," because it isn't, I continued to read. It's a good story. I did like it and was surprised how it ended.

Absolutely loved this book. I have read several Stuart Woods's books and thought they were starting to all blend together, same characters, same, well almost everything. I took a break from reading him and then stumbled across this book. Stayed up late at night just to try and get through it. Really enjoyed it!
April 29, 2018
Yeah Stuart Woods!!!!! Yet another wonderful book!!!!
I do enjoy Stuart Woods' books. They are so readable and engaging. They grab my attention from the beginning and hold it through to the end -- often to the detriment of whatever I was doing before I started reading. Thank you so very much.

Typical thriller fare. Lone good guy with some troubles in his past fights to outsmart a bunch of bad guys. Throw in one lone female character as a potential love interest. Not much doubt about whether good or evil prevails, just a question about how many shoot-outs, explosions, and dead bodies will result.
