Stephanie's mother has found the perfect man, at least as
far as she is concerned. Stephanie isn't convinced and he
won't take no for an answer. Dave shows up and makes great
meals for her but the timing isn't always convenient.
Meanwhile, two dead bodies are discovered on the lot where
the bail bonds office used to stand. A local mobster and
his lawyer. The office is operating out of Mooner's RV
while Vince convinces his father-in-law to rebuild.
Stephanie and Lula have two clients to catch but they keep
getting away. One believes himself to be a vampire and Lula
shoots a toe off the foot of Melvin since he called her fat.
It's life as normal for Stephanie until more bodies start
turning up on the empty lot with cards addressed to
Stephanie. Morelli and Ranger both get involved as the
threat to Stephanie deepens.
Filled with Evanovich's trademark humor and typical gags,
readers will fall in love with the series again.
Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and no one knows
this better than New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum.
Dead bodies are showing up in shallow
graves on the empty construction lot of Vincent Plum Bail
Bonds. No one is sure who the killer is, or why the victims
have been offed, but what is clearis that
Stephanie’s name is on the killer’s list.
Short on
time to find evidence proving the killer’s identity,
Stephanie faces further complications when her family and
friends decide that it’s time for her to choose between her
longtime off-again-on-again boyfriend, Trenton cop Joe
Morelli, and the bad boy in her life, security expert
Ranger. Stephanie’s mom is encouraging Stephanie to dump
them both and choose a former high school football star
who’s just returned to town. Stephanie’s sidekick, Lula, is
encouraging Stephanie to have a red-hot boudoir “bake-off.”
And Grandma Bella, Morelli’s old-world grandmother, is
encouraging Stephanie to move to a new state when she puts
“the eye” on Stephanie.
With a cold-blooded killer
after her, a handful of hot men, and a capture list that
includes a dancing bear and a senior citizen vampire,
Stephanie’s life looks like it’s about to go up in smoke.
