Whether it’s monkey business, funny business, or getting
down to business, Janet Evanovich’s Lizzy and Diesel series
proves that there’s no business like Wicked
Business. Lizzy Tucker’s once
normal life as a pastry chef in Salem, Massachusetts, turns
upside down as she battles both sinister forces and an
inconvenient attraction to her unnaturally talented but
off-limits partner, Diesel.
When Harvard
University English professor and dyed-in-the-wool romantic
Gilbert Reedy is mysteriously murdered and thrown off his
fourth-floor balcony, Lizzy and Diesel take up his
twenty-year quest for the Luxuria Stone, an ancient relic
believed by some to be infused with the power of lust.
Following clues contained in a cryptic nineteenth-century
book of sonnets, Lizzy and Diesel tear through Boston
catacombs, government buildings, and multimillion-dollar
residences. On their way they’ll leave behind a trail of
robbed graves, public disturbances, and general mayhem.
Diesel’s black sheep cousin, Gerwulf Grimoire,
also wants the Stone. His motives are far from pure, and
what he plans on doing with the treasure, no one knows . . .
but Lizzy Tucker fears she’s in his crosshairs. Never far
and always watching, Grimoire has a growing, vested interest
in the cupcake-baker-turned-finder-of-lost-things. As does
another dangerous and dark opponent in the hunt—a devotee of
lawlessness and chaos, known only as Anarchy.
Treasures will be sought, and the power of lust will be
unmistakable as Lizzy and Diesel attempt to stay ahead of
Anarchy, Grimoire, and his medieval minion, Hatchet, in this
ancient game of twisted riddles and high-stakes hide-and-seek.
