"Stephanie Plum, Trenton New Jersey's favorite pistol-packing, condom-carrying bounty hunter is back again. This time she is on the trail of a revenge-seeking waitress who's skipped bail. With the help of 73-year old Grandma Mazur, ex-hooker Lula, a tranvestite musician named Sally Sweet, and the all-too hospitable, all-too-sexy Joe Morelli, Stephanie might just catch her woman. Then again, with more mishaps than there are exits on the Jersey Turnpike-including murders, firebombs, and Stephanie's arch rival bounty hunter chasing after the same fugitive-Stephanie better watch her back big-time if she expects to crack this case."
