After a slow summer of chasing low-level
skips for her cousin Vinnie's bail bonds agency, Stephanie Plum finally
lands an assignment that could put her bank balance back in the black.
Geoffrey Cubbin, facing trial for embezzling millions from Trenton's
premier assisted-living facility, has mysteriously vanished from the
hospital after an emergency appendectomy. Now it's on Stephanie to track
down the con man. The problem is, Cubbin has disappeared without a
trace, a witness, or his money-hungry wife. Rumours are stirring that he
must have had help with the daring escape...or that maybe he never made
it out of his room alive. Since the hospital staff's lips seem to be
tighter that the security, and it's hard for Stephanie to blend in to
assisted living, Stephanie's Grandma Mazur goes in undercover. But when a
second felon goes missing from the same hospital, Plum is forced into
working side by side with Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, in order
to crack the case. The real problem is, no Cubbin means no way to pay
the rent. Desperate for money - or maybe just desperate - Plum accepts a
secondary job guarding her secretive and mouthwatering mentor Ranger
from a deadly special-forces adversary. While Stephanie is notorious for
finding trouble, she may have found a little more than she bargained
for this time around. Then again - a little food poisoning, some
threatening notes, and a bridesmaid's dress with an excess of taffeta
never killed anyone...or did it? If Stephanie Plum wants to bring in a
paycheck, she'll have to remember: no guts, no glory...
Evanovich levererar för 19:e gången och jag skrattar fortfarande högt emellanåt åt Stephanie och Mormor Mazur. Ranger är fortfarande megahunk, men Morelli börjar mjuka till sig.
Så ännu än gång säger jag: Go, Team Ranger!!
