In the nineteenth installment of Janet Evanovich's wildly popular series, New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum finds herself caught between two dangerous cases and her perpetually complicated love life. Her primary target is a multi-million-dollar fraudster who mysteriously vanished from a hospital post-surgery, a seemingly straightforward assignment that quickly unravels into typical Plum chaos. However, Stephanie's attention is diverted when her enigmatic, irresistibly handsome mentor, Ranger, begins receiving chilling death threats from a former Special Forces associate. Tasked with protecting the very man who usually guards her, Stephanie must navigate the perilous waters of a skilled killer while grappling with her undeniable attraction to Ranger. As the threats escalate and the con-man's trail grows colder, Stephanie will need all her wit, luck, and perhaps a little help from her eccentric supporting cast to survive the week and bring both her marks to justice, all while trying not to get blown up or otherwise incapacitated.
