A monkey called Carl, secret riches, and personal grudges will set bounty hunter Stephanie Plum on her most exciting journey to yet.
The Offense: Robbery with weapons totaling nine million dollars
Dom Rizzi committed bank robbery, hid the proceeds, and served his sentence. His family is really proud of him. He was the wise one all along.
Joe Morelli, the Cousin
Joe Morelli, Dom Rizzi, and Loretta, Dom's sister, are related. Rizzi robs banks, Loretta is a single mother tending tables at the firehouse, and Morelli works as a police officer. The family, all Americans.
The Issues: Acid reflux, abduction, murder, and damage of personal property
In the week after Dom's release from jail, Joe Morelli experiences death in his cellar and mysterious intruders breaking into his home. In addition to Loretta being abducted, Dom is absent, and he is receiving menacing texts.
The Misfortune: Moonman
To keep an eye on his home, Walter "Mooner" Dunphy, a former "inventor" and stoner, is hired by Morelli. With a police wage, Morelli can't buy much, and Mooner will settle for potatoes.
Sweet Treat: Stephanie Plum
Long-term companions Stephanie and Morelli enjoy passionate relationships filled with sex and drive each other crazy. With more luck than skill, she works as a bond enforcement agent and is implicated in this disastrous bank heist from the beginning.
The Crisis: Ranger's favor
Carlos Manoso, also known as Ranger, is a security specialist who has a nighttime job for Stephanie. Morelli has different opinions on what Stephanie should do in the evening.
The Verdict: Reading Fourteen is just for the brave.
There might be incontinence, chills, and thrills.
