High Five

Stephanie Plum, ever the reluctant bounty hunter, finds herself in a fresh maelstrom of chaos as her finances dwindle and her career takes yet another questionable turn. Following in the dubious footsteps of the enigmatic Ranger, she attempts a foray into 'marginally legal enterprises,' which predictably spirals into immediate disaster—a self-combusting scumball and a stolen limo on her very first day. But professional woes are merely a backdrop to Stephanie's personal mayhem. Her mother's frantic search for the mysteriously vanished Uncle Fred, an unsettling encounter with the scripture-quoting, homicidal rapist Benito Ramirez, and the ever-present romantic entanglements with vice cop Joe Morelli and the dangerously alluring Ranger, all converge to make her life an exhilarating, if exhausting, tightrope walk. 'High Five' delivers another signature blend of hilarious misadventures, quirky characters, and unexpected thrills that define Janet Evanovich's beloved series, ensuring readers are in for a wild ride.
