Product Information

It was originally in the trunk of the Porsche, and he first thought that Cynthia had taken it, but now believes that only Stephanie could have it. Every other cop in Trenton knows Ranger and knows he carries concealed, and they're perfectly happy to have it that way. The peculiar joy of this series is the comic sense of place; Plum's New Jersey is one where everyone you meet, even the most dangerous of criminals, was at school with you, or stole your mother's first boyfriend, or gave your great-aunt a middling good recipe for meatloaf. She was holding a regulation-size yellow fire brick in the palm of her right hand, with about four feet of clothesline stretched between the brick and her ankle. Desperate for work, with her Miata repossessed and her refrigerator empty, she cons her way into a job as an "apprehension agent" for a bail bondsman.

I was wearing hiking boots with thick Vibram soles, but the cold was seeping through to my feet all the same. I feel like I am really getting to know all of these wacky characters, but then new ones are always coming in. He kills for the pleasure of it and thoroughly enjoys placing elaborate obstacles to keep police befuddled.

A fatal car accident that was anything but accidental has jarred loose a stash of methamphetamines and cash that’s become the center of a battle between the Sons of Freedom, Bakken County’s traditional drug sellers, and MS-13, the Salvadorian upstarts who are muscling in on their territory.

Over drinks, Stephanie pretends to recognize Alexander from news coverage and expresses her condolences over Homer's death. WHAT I LIKED: As with most things Plum, there's a lot going on … Grandma has moved in, she gets stuck babysitting a wild dog, and there's a killer running around who likes Stephanie. I have enjoyed almost all of them, but I could not tolerate the monotonous presentation of this story by the narrator. Just listed to a little of 7 and wish I had gone stright to 7 and skipped 5 and 6 what a waste of money.So it's time for Plan B and the opportunity to make a real killing - with the unlikely help of a beautiful, ticked-off housewife who's hungry for a large helping of sweet revenge.

Apart from the cops and the bad guys, Stephanie’s arch nemesis, Joyce Barnhardt is also on the bounty hunter trail. All may seem lost for Chris and Ken, until a meddlesome Aunt Edna, a ride on a Zamboni and a genuine love of family all conspire to turn their luck around. And it is most possible that because we will be inflicting the perversions upon her, she will enjoy them immensely. Perhaps he knew that sharing the close quarters of a car with her for hours would give the handsome program director no room to resist her quirky charms. Joe: "You know, when you're a cop you get to a point where you think you've heard it all," he finally said.If he brought Ranger in for questioning, he could probably hold him for a while based on priors, like the carrying charge.

Lorelei King continues to shine as the narrator of Evanovich’s long-running series about feisty New Jersey bail bondswoman Stephanie Plum.

The special light formula goes in hair, skin, scalp, and nail cuticles easily and without a heavy oil buildup. Just when you think Stephanie has her love life sorted something comes along and mixes it up, in this case it's her growing attraction to Ranger and his darkly seductive flirting that sends her pulse racing. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Alexander Ramos deals guns, regulating the flow of black market arms from his summer compound on the Jersey shore and his winter fortress in Athens. A half-hour later I was standing in front of Lenny Dale's door, and apparently the Dales were at it again because there was a lot of shouting going on inside the apartment.
