#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In the heart of Trenton, New Jersey, Stephanie Plum tracks a killer who is out to make sure someone gets his just desserts. "The most popular mystery writer alive."--The New York Times Larry Virgil skipped out on his latest court date after he was arrested for hijacking an eighteen-wheeler full of premium bourbon. Fortunately for bounty hunter Stephanie Plum, Larry is just stupid enough to attempt almost the exact same crime again. Only this time he flees the scene, leaving behind a freezer truck loaded with Bogart ice cream and a dead body--frozen solid and covered in chocolate and chopped pecans. As fate would have it, Stephanie's mentor and occasional employer, Ranger, needs her to go undercover at the Bogart factory to find out who's putting their employees on ice and sabotaging the business. It's going to be hard for Stephanie to keep her hands off all that ice cream, and even harder for her to keep her hands off Ranger. It's also going to be hard to explain to Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, why she is spending late nights with Ranger, late nights with Lula and Randy Briggs--who are naked and afraid--and late nights keeping tabs on Grandma Mazur and her new fella. Stephanie Plum has a lot on her plate, but for a girl who claims to have "virtually no marketable skills," these are the kinds of sweet assignments she does best.

From the #1 "New York Times" bestselling author comes the latest Stephanie Plum adventure. She's accidentally destroyed a dozen cars. She's a target for every psycho and miscreant this side of the Jersey Turnpike. He mother's convinced she'll end up dead...or worse, without a man. She's Stephanie Plum and she kicks butt for a living (well, she thought it would sound good to put it that way...) It begins as an innocent trip to the deli-mart, on a quest for nachos. But Stephanie Plum and her partner, Lula, are clearly in the wrong place at the wrong time. A robbery leads to an explosion, which leads to the destruction of yet another car. It would be just another day in the life of Stephanie Plum...except that she becomes the target of a gang. And the target of an even scarier, more dangerous force that comes to Trenton. With super bounty hunter Ranger out of town (and Stephanie on the outs with vice cop Morelli), she finds herself alone, with a decision to make: how to protect herself and where to hide while on the hunt for a killer known as the Junkman. There's only one safe place, and it has Ranger's name all over it-if she can find it. And if the Junkman doesn't find her first. With Lula riding shotgun and Grandma Mazur on the loose, Stephanie Plum is racing against the clock in her most suspenseful novel yet. Ten Big Ones is page-turning entertainment and Janet Evanovich is the best there is.

The smash-hit #1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich takes you on the ride of your life in the next Stephanie Plum adventure, Seven Up Semiretired mob guy Eddie DeCooch is caught trafficking contraband cigarettes through Trenton, New Jersey. When DeCooch fails to show for a court appearance, bond enforcement agent Stephanie Plum is assigned the task of finding him and dragging his decrepit ass back to jail. Not such an easy job, it turns out, since DeCooch has learned a lot of tricks over the years and isn't afraid to use his gun. He's already shot Loretta Ricci, an innocent old lady, and left her for worm food in his shed. He wouldn't mind shooting Stephanie next. Likeable losers (and Steph's former high school classmates) Walter "MoonMan" Dunphy and Dougie "The Dealer" Kruper have inadvertently become involved with DeCooch. They've gotten sucked into an operation that is much more than simple cigarette smuggling and holds risks far greater than anyone could have imagined. When Dougie disappears, Steph goes into search mode. When Mooner disappears, she calls in the heavy artillery and asks master bounty hunter Ranger for help. Ranger's price for the job? One night with Stephanie, dusk to dawn. Not information she wants to share with her sometime live-in roommate, vice cop Joe Morelli, A typical dilemma in the world of Plum. And on the homefront, Stephanie's "perfect" sister, Valerie, has decided to move back to Trenton, bringing her two kids from hell with her. Grandma Mazur is asking questions about being a lesbian, and Bob, the bulimic dog, is eating everything in sight--including the furniture. Mud wrestling, motorcycles, fast cars, fast food, and fast men. It's Janet Evanovich's Seven Up.

Stephanie Plum's life is never boring, not even for a split second, in the adrenaline-fueled new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich In a now-or-never moment, Stephanie Plum made the decision of a lifetime. But some lifetimes are shorter than others. Over the years, Stephanie has acquired a few enemies. It's an occupational hazard as a bond enforcement agent. The problem is that she currently has an enemy who is a mystery. Disturbing packages, threatening notes, and near misses are keeping Stephanie in the dark and her tormentor, who wants her dead, in the shadows. Bond jumper Greb Tusi would also like to get rid of Stephanie. He's wanted for going on a three-hour rampage-that "wasn't his fault"- mugging an old lady and stealing a hearse. Lacking Enemy Number One's creativity and strong work ethic, Tusi has chosen a more minimalistic approach to dealing with Trenton's best-known bounty hunter. Trying to push her off roofs, bridges, in front of trucks, and any place else where a little push can go a long way. Ex-fiancé and mentor, Ranger, isn't an enemy yet, but Stephanie is worried she might be pushing the boundaries of friendship. Ranger has taken a security job for a powerful political figure, and he needs Stephanie's help. It's next to impossible to say no to the man of mystery, but Stephanie might be in over her head. Ranger's job is high-stress, high-stakes, and high-maintenance, and Stephanie is pretty sure that when Ranger discovers the job was kidnapped under her watch, he'll proverbially kill her. The clock is ticking for Stephanie to find her kidnapped victim, FTA Greb Tusi, and the person who's behind the creepy messages. If she lets her guard down for even a split second, she's sure to feel the consequences.

In a now-or-never moment, Stephanie Plum made the decision of a lifetime. But some lifetimes are shorter than others and Stephanie will be lucky if she makes it to the end of the week. Over the years, Trenton's best-known bounty hunter has acquired a long list of enemies. It's an occupational hazard as a bond enforcement agent. The problem is that she now has a mysterious enemy whose name isn't on any list. Disturbing packages, threatening notes, and near misses are keeping Stephanie in the dark and her anonymous tormentor, who wants her dead, in the shadows.

He's wanted for going on a three-hour rampage--one that he swears "wasn't his fault"--that included mugging an old lady and stealing a hearse. Lacking Anonymous Enemy #1's creative flair and strong work ethic, Tusi has chosen a more minimalist approach to dealing with the annoyingly still-breathing Plum. Trying to push her off roofs, bridges, in front of trucks, and any place else where a little push can go a long way. And if adjusting to being newly married isn't enough to take a few years off Stephanie's life, working for her ex-fianc and mentor, Ranger, might do the trick. Ranger has taken a security job for a powerful political figure, and Stephanie is in charge of babysitting one of the figure's family members. But Stephanie might be in over her head with this one. Ranger's job is high-stress, high-stakes, and high-maintenance, and Stephanie is pretty sure that when Ranger discovers the client she was minding was kidnapped under her watch, her days might be numbered. The clock is ticking for Stephanie to find her kidnap victim, bail-jumper Greb Tusi, and the invisible stalker who is sending her increasingly menacing messages. If she lets her guard down for even a split second, her time will be up.
