“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.

BONUS: This edition includes Janet Evanovich’s short story “Pros and Cons”

Ratings and reviews

I've read most of Evanoviches stephanie plum books before no. 21. They were a combination of a crime drama and humor that would make me laugh out loud. This one had an occasional joke here and there. The relationship part between the 2 men in her life was abreviated considerably. My speculation is that since her previous 20 books have sold like hot cakes she's decided she doesn' t have to try very hard and the book would still sell very well.

To the negative reviews that will come...Yes all of her books are the same story with different filler. I still love her books. I still wait for a new one and get excited like a kid of Christmas the night before it comes out. Keep them coming Janet:)

Another laugh out loud, can't put down, Stephanie Plum novel. I own, and have read, them all, along with 'between the numbers', Lizzy and Diesel, Kate and Nick and the Barnaby novels....can't quite get enough of Janet Evanovich
