When a child is kidnapped by his own father, Stephanie is hired to find them both. But things aren't always as they seem--and soon Stephanie must determine if she's working for the right side of the law. Plus, there's the Morelli question: can a Jersey girl keep her head on straight when more than just bullets are aiming for her heart? And with Stephanie and Morelli on the rocks, is it time for Ranger to move in for the kill?To The Nines The pursuit of a skip takes Stephanie, Lula, and Grandma to Vegas, where three mob guys will do whatever it takes to make sure it's a one-way ticket. Until then, Stephanie makes it her business to meet up with all the city's most dangerous characters from the underground and up. With the surprising appearance of Joe Morelli to Ranger doing his own kind of surveillance, Stephanie's nights have never been hotter. Will what happens to her in Vegas stay in Vegas--or is something more sinister in store? "Evanovich is funny and ceaselessy inventive." --Los Angeles Times Book Review |
Contributor Bio(s): Evanovich, Janet: - Janet Evanovich is the author of the Stephanie Plum books, including One for the Money and Sizzling Sixteen, and the Diesel & Tucker series, including Wicked Appetite. Janet studied painting at Douglass College, but that art form never quite fit, and she soon moved on to writing stories. She didn't have instant success: she collected a big box of rejection letters. As she puts it, "When the box was full I burned the whole damn thing, crammed myself into pantyhose and went to work for a temp agency." But after a few months of secretarial work, she managed to sell her first novel for $2,000. She immediately quit her job and started working full-time as a writer. After a dozen romance novels, she switched to mystery, and created Stephanie Plum. The rest is history. Janet's favorite exercise is shopping, and her drug of choice is Cheeze Doodles. |
