Ambos convinieron en que la relación sería estrictamente comercial.

A corto di soldi, Stephanie Plum rimedia un lavoro, nella società di assicurazioni del cugino, come “cacciatrice di teste”, con il compito di consegnare alla polizia tutti gli arrestati rilasciati su cauzione che non si sono presentati in tribunale per il processo. Il suo primo caso è però quello di un agente di polizia ingiustamente accusato di omicidio, un ex compagno di liceo di Stephanie, al cuifascino lei in passato non aveva saputo resistere. Insieme i due si trovano coinvolti in una storia di traffico di eroina e in una serie di guai. Anche pubblicato come “Tutto per denaro”.

Stephanie Plum fa la cacciatrice di taglie per un’agenzia del New Jersey. Il suo compito è ritrovare il misterioso Ranger, sospettato di aver ucciso il figlio di un boss del traffico d’armi. Ma Ranger è anche l’uomo che ha insegnato a Stephanie tutto quello che sa del suo mestiere e che esercita su di lei un fascino pericoloso. E la cattura di Ranger non è l’unico pensiero che non la fa dormire di notte. La spassosa nonna Mazur si è trasferita da lei, un amico le ha affidato un cane bulimico, l’intimità con il fidanzato Joe Morelli è diventata impossibile, Stephanie deve più volte dissuadere dal suicidio un’amica e un maniaco tenta di ucciderla.

Questa volta, il compito della cacciatrice di taglie Stephanie Plum non sembrerebbe dei più difficili: deve rintracciare un anziano concittadino di Trenton, nel New Jersey, Eddie DeChooch. Nonostante la cataratta e l’età avanzata, Eddie — che è accusato di contrabbando di sigarette e non si è presentato in tribunale — continua a sfuggire ai tentativi di arresto da parte di Stephanie e dei suoi maldestri aiutanti, Dougie e Luna. In più, nel suo giardino è stato trovato il cadavere di un’anziana vedova. Dopo un crescendo di inseguimenti, rivelazioni, agguati, rapimenti e risate, Stephanie Plum riuscirà a risolvere il caso.

«Durante mi infancia mis aspiraciones eran sencillas: quería ser una princesa intergaláctica.» La cazarrecompensas Stephanie Plum tiene una misión bastante simple: todo lo que tiene que hacer es llevar a los tribunales a un viejecito sordo, casi ciego y con problemas de próstata, acusado de contrabando de cigarrillos. ¿Es culpa suya si se le escurre continuamente de entre las manos? Las cosas se complicarán todavía más después de que dos de sus amigos desaparezcan misteriosamente tras ser atacados por una jubilada enloquecida y de que su perfecta hermana Valerie le pida consejos sobre cómo hacerse lesbiana. Quizá la vida de Stephanie sería más fácil ¿y menos divertida¿ si no estuviera tratando de huir de su propia boda, si su abuela no se empeñara en acompañarla en una Harley Davidson y, por supuesto, si el increíblemente sexy Ranger no le ofreciera su ayuda a cambio de una perfecta noche de pasión…

Stéphanie Plum est chasseuse de prime. Sa spécialité : ramener les libérés sous caution récalcitrants au tribunal. Un job sans grande surprise, sauf quand il s'agit de mettre la main sur Kenny Mancuso. Un vrai coriace trempé dans une affaire de trafic d'armes, qui passe son temps à découper des cadavres et à envoyer les morceaux à Stéphanie. Sans compter les quarante cercueils disparus d'une entreprise de pompes funèbres. Un vrai casse-tête. Évidemment, tout irait mieux si Morelli, flic et pot de colle, n'était pas toujours pendu à ses basques. Heureusement, Stéphanie à une grand-mère qui s'y connaît en flingues et en salons funéraires.

La investigadora Stephanie Plum ha vuelto, y con mucho más carácter. Esta vez, va tras la pista de Kenny Mancuso, un compañero de trabajo en Trenton, New Jersey, que ha disparado a su mejor amigo. Ha salido hace poco de la Armada y es sospechosamente rico, Mancuso también está relacionado de manera lejana con Joe Morelli, un subdirector de policía de dudosa reputación… y que le gusta mucho meterse en los asuntos de Stephanie.

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's life is set to blow sky high when international murder hits dangerously close to home, in this dynamite novel by Janet Evanovich. Before Stephanie can even step foot off Flight 127 from Hawaii to Newark, she's knee deep in trouble. Her dream vacation turned into a nightmare, she's flying back to New Jersey solo, and someone who sounds like Sasquatch is snoring in row 22. Worse still, her seatmate never returned to the plane after the L.A. layover. Now he's dead, in a garbage can, waiting for curbside pickup. His killer could be anyone. The FBI, the fake FBI, and guns-for-hire are all looking for a photograph the dead man was supposed to be carrying. Only one other person has seen the missing photograph – Stephanie Plum. Now she's the target, and she doesn't intend to end up in a garbage can. With the help of an FBI sketch artist Stephanie re-creates the person in the photo. Unfortunately the first sketch turns out to look like Tom Cruise, and the second sketch like Ashton Kutcher. Until Stephanie can improve her descriptive skills, she'll need to watch her back. Over at the Bail Bonds Agency it's business as usual – until the bonds bus serving as Vinnie's temporary HQ goes up in smoke, Stephanie's wheelman, Lula, falls in love with their 'largest' FTA yet, lifetime arch nemesis Joyce Barnhardt moves into Stephanie's apartment, and everyone wants to know what happened in Hawaii?! Morelli, Trenton's hottest cop, isn't talking about Hawaii. Ranger, the man of mystery, isn't talking about Hawaii.

So is its newest entrepreneur, Annie Fortenberry, who has inherited her grandmother's B&B (and its eccentric handyman Erdle Thorney).

Dear reader: I've been hearing from many of you that you'd like to see more books that entertain the way my Stephanie Plum novels do. So my good friend, Charlotte Hughes, and I teamed up to bring you a brand-new series of books. These new books are not set in the world of Plum, but they are written in the Plum tradition with fast-paced action, dysfunctional loveable characters, steamy sex, suspense and lots of laughs. The series is kicked off by Full House, a slightly off-center love story about a devious man, an uncooperative woman, and a misguided genius. I wrote and published the original Full House in 1989 under the name Steffie Hall. I thought it was a fun book at the time, but Charlotte and I have made it bigger and better. In Full House, Nick Kaharchek senses danger the minute he sees Billie Pearce. She represents everything he's always avoided.Ý Happy in her home life, a divorced mother of two, Billie is the epitome of stability. She's also irresistibly fascinating to the footloose Kaharchek… in a car crash sort of way. Their fateful meeting leads to a story filled with seduction and mayhem and love everlasting. Charlotte and I hope you enjoy this first romantic adventure, and look forward to many more. Janet & Charlotte
