“The most popular mystery writer alive.”—The New York Times
Trenton, New Jersey’s favorite used-car dealer, Jimmy Poletti, was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of his dealerships. Now he’s out on bail and has missed his date in court, and bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead ends, and all too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli, the city’s hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killer’s whereabouts. These are desperate times, and they call for desperate measures. So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really doesn’t want to do: protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy Briggs. Briggs was picking up quick cash as Poletti’s bookkeeper and knows all his boss’s dirty secrets. Now Briggs is next on Poletti’s list of people to put six feet under.
To top things off, Ranger—resident security expert and Stephanie’s greatest temptation—has been the target of an assassination plot. He’s dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to survive the next attempt on his life, he’ll have to enlist Stephanie’s help and reveal a bit more of his mysterious past.
Death threats, highly trained assassins, highly untrained assassins, and Stark Street being overrun by a pack of feral Chihuahuas are all in a day’s work for Stephanie Plum. The real challenge is dealing with her Grandma Mazur’s wild bucket list. A boob job and getting revenge on Joe Morelli’s Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to what’s number one on the list—but that’s top secret.

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is at it again, and her zany exploits give narrator Lorelei King a run for her money. From a homeless man with a pack of feral Chihuahuas to a three-foot-tall accountant who's been cooking the books for a shady car dealer, King delivers screwball dialogue and madcap antics as smoothly and naturally as, well, a used car salesman delivers his shtick. King is especially strong in her portrayal of Plum's sidekick, Lula. For her, King's timing and dialect ooze attitude and conjure images of dramatic eye and neck rolls. While security expert Ranger's "babe" is a little more stalker-creepy than dark and sexy, the overall production is light, fun, and sure to produce laughs (and likely some groans).
