All New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has to do is bring in
semi-retired bail jumper Eddie DeChooch. For an old man he's still got a
knack for slipping out of sight - and raising hell. How else can
Stephanie explain the bullet-riddled corpse in Eddie's garden? Who else
would have a clue as to why two of Stephanie's friends suddenly
vanished? For answers Stephanie has the devil to pay: her mentor,
Ranger. The deal? He'll give Stephanie all the help she needs - if she
gives him everything he wants...
MESSED UP
As if things weren't complicated enough, Stephanie's just discovered her
Grandma Mazur's own unmentionable alliance with Eddie. Add a series of
unnerving break-ins, not to mention the bombshell revelation leveled by
Stephanie's estranged sister, and Stephanie's ready for some good news.
Unfortunately, a marriage proposal from Joe Morelli, the love of her
life, isn't quite cutting it. And now - murder, a randy paramour, a wily
mobster, death threats, extortion, and a triple kidnapping aside -
Stephanie's really got the urge to run for her life...
