500 $a"A novel introducing Stephanie Plum"--Jacket.
520 $aWatch out, world. Here comes Stephanie Plum, a
bounty hunter with attitude. In Stephanie's opinion, toxic
waste, rabid drivers, armed schizophrenics, and August heat,
humidity, and hydrocarbons are all part of the great
adventure of living in Jersey. She's a product of the
"burg," a blue-collar pocket of Trenton where houses are
attached and narrow, cars are American, windows are clean,
and (God forbid you should be late) dinner is served at six.
Now Stephanie's all grown up and out on her own, living five
miles from Mom and Dad's, doing her best to sever the
world's longest umbilical cord. Her mother is a meddler, and
her grandmother is a few cans short of a case. Out of work
and out of money, with her Miata repossessed and her
refrigerator empty, Stephanie blackmails her bail bondsman
cousin, Vinnie, into giving her a try as an apprehension
agent. Stephanie knows zilch about the job requirements, but
she figures her new pal, fearless bounty hunter Ranger, can
teach her what it takes to catch a crook. Her first
assignment: nail Joe Morelli, a former vice cop on the run
from a charge of murder one. Morelli is also the
irresistible macho pig who took Stephanie's virginity at age
sixteen and then wrote the details on the bathroom wall of
Mario's Sub Shop. There's still powerful chemistry between
these two, so the chase should be interesting. It could also
be extremely dangerous, especially when Stephanie encounters
a heavyweight title contender who likes to play rough.
Benito Ramirez is known for his brutality to women. At the
very least, his obsession with Stephanie complicates her
manhunt and brings terror and uncertainty into her life. At
worst, it could lead to murder. Witty, fresh, and full of
surprises, One for the Money is among the most eagerly
awaited crime novels of the season.
