It must be hard to live up to one's past successes.

Stuart Woods is a good author but this one wasn't as good as the first in the series. It was kind of like he was going through the motions here.

When I entered the words "loitering with intent" into the Wikipedia search box, I was redirected to the following Wiki website: ====>

Perhaps the expression, "loitering with intent" is an idiom, or a euphemism, or a legal term. Does anyone know?

Hi Siobhan - There seems to be more than one book entitled "Loitering with Intent".
In message #2, I pointed that out by posting the different links to those books.

See the list of books below:
1. Loitering with Intent by Stuart Woods
2. Loitering with Intent by Muriel Spark
3. Loitering With Intent: The Child by Peter O'Toole
4. Loitering With Intent: The Apprentice by Peter O'Toole
5. Loitering With Intent : My Adventures in Catholic Evangelization by Vincent Cacace

(See the links in message #2 in this thread.)

This topic is about book #1 on the list above.

Am I wrong or is this thread commenting on the wrong book. This book is Muriel Spark's 1981 "Loitering with Intent"

Hi Don,
Below is a cover-link to the book, for reference purposes.
Loitering with Intent by Stuart Woods
Stuart Woods has quite an interesting profile description at Goodreads.

BTW, while searching for this book title, I found other books with the same title by different authors. It seems so strange that several authors would choose such an unusual title. Below are links to the books:
Loitering with Intent
Loitering With Intent The Child
Loitering With Intent The Apprentice
Loitering With Intent My Adventures in Catholic Evangelization

This is book # 16 in the Stone Barrington series.

I've only read book # 1 but this is hot off the presses.
