Turn on all the lights and check under your bed. Things are
about to get spooky in Trenton, New Jersey. According to
legend, the Jersey Devil prowls the Pine Barrens and soars
above the treetops in the dark of night. As eerie as this
might seem, there are things in the Barrens that are even
more frightening and dangerous. And there are monkeys. Lots
of monkeys. Wulf Grimoire is a world wanderer and an
opportunist who can kill without remorse and disappear like
smoke. He’s chosen Martin Munch, boy genius, as his new
business partner, and he’s chosen the Barrens as his new
playground.
Munch received his doctorate degree in quantum physics when
he was twenty-two. He’s now twenty-four, and while his brain
is large, his body hasn’t made it out of the boys’
department at Macy’s. Anyone who says good things come in
small packages hasn’t met Munch. Wulf Grimoire is looking
for world domination. Martin Munch would be happy if he
could just get a woman naked and tied to a tree. Bounty
hunter Stephanie Plum has Munch on her most-wanted list for
failure to appear in court. Plum is the all-American girl
stuck in an uncomfortable job, succeeding on luck and
tenacity. Usually she gets her man. This time she gets a
monkey. She also gets a big guy named Diesel. Diesel pops
in and out of Plum’s life like birthday cake – delicious to
look at and taste, not especially healthy as a steady diet,
gone by the end of the week if not sooner. He’s an über
bounty hunter with special skills when it comes to tracking
men and pleasing women. He’s after Grimoire, and now he’s
also after Munch. And if truth were told, he wouldn’t mind
setting Stephanie Plum in his crosshairs. Diesel and Plum
hunt down Munch and Grimoire, following them into the
Barrens, surviving cranberry bogs, the Jersey Devil, a
hair-raising experience, sand in their underwear, and, of
course . . . monkeys.
