Trenton, New Jerseyβs favorite used-car dealer, Jimmy Poletti, was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of his dealerships. Now heβs 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 cityβs hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killerβs whereabouts. These are desperate times, and they call for desperate measures. So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really doesnβt want to do: protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy Briggs. Briggs was picking up quick cash as Polettiβs bookkeeper and knows all his bossβs dirty secrets. Now Briggs is next on Polettiβs list of people to put six feet under.

To top things off, Rangerβresident security expert and Stephanieβs greatest temptationβhas been the target of an assassination plot. Heβs dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to survive the next attempt on his life, heβll have to enlist Stephanieβs 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 dayβs work for Stephanie Plum. The real challenge is dealing with her Grandma Mazurβs wild bucket list. A boob job and getting revenge on Joe Morelliβs Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to whatβs number one on the listβbut thatβs top secret.
