Jackpot by Stuart Woods & B. Quertermous

 I really am liking these Teddy Fay books by Stuart Woods better than the Stone Barrington books. The Teddy books have an actual plot. In this one, Teddy is on his way back home after an overseas trip for Centurion Studios when a woman of many unusual talents named Dale Gai intercepts him at the airport and tells him he has to go to Macau. Apparently someone has been sabotaging Centurion's efforts at a big film festival in Macau.

So Teddy goes and soon is involved in a complicated case involving the CIA, a power-hungry rich American living in Macau, a power-hungry Chinese woman who wants to go to America, a female CIA employee who is trying to be taken seriously, and various other locals with nefarious plots in mind. It's a good summer beach read. And there's nary a word about Stone's increasingly improbable sex life.
