Descrip­tions

Stéphanie Plum décide de mettre fin à sa carrière de chasseuse de prime. Mais son passé la poursuit et, après des essais peu concluants dans une usine de fabrication de boutons, un pressing et un fast-food, elle accepte finalement le poste administratif que lui propose Ranger, le plus sexy des chasseurs de prime.

Trop c'est trop. Stéphanie Plum en a par-dessus la tête de se faire tirer dessus et de voir sa voiture exploser. Elle rend son badge de chasseuse de primes et décide de trouver un emploi normal, dont sa mère pourra parler à ses amies sans devoir faire le signe de croix. Mais son passé ne cesse de la hanter. Harcelée par un déséquilibré passionné d'explosifs, elle doit le démasquer avant qu'il ne la réduise en miettes. Et, pour ne rien arranger, la tension monte entre les deux hommes de sa vie, Joe Morelli, le flic le plus craquant de Trenton, et Ranger, le bad boyle plus sexy de la planète...

Stephanie Plum is thinking her career as a fugitive apprehension agent has run its course. She’s been shot at, spat at, cussed at, fire-bombed, mooned, and attacked by dogs. Time for a change, Stephanie thinks. Time to find the kind of job her mother can tell her friends about without making the sign of the cross.

So Stephanie Plum quits. Resigns. No looking back. No changing her mind. She wants something safe and normal. As it turns out, jobs that are safe and normal for most people aren’t necessarily safe and normal for Stephanie Plum. Trouble follows her, and the kind of trouble she had at the bail bonds office can’t compare to the kind of trouble she finds herself facing now. Her past has come back to haunt her. She’s stalked by a maniac returned from the grave for the sole purpose of putting her into a burial plot of her own. He’s killed before, and he’ll kill again if given the chance. Caught between staying far away from the bounty hunter business and staying alive, Stephanie reexamines her life and the possibility that being a bounty hunter is the solution rather than the problem. After disturbingly brief careers at the button factory, Kan Klean Dry Cleaners, and Cluck-in-a-Bucket, Stephanie takes an office position in security, working for Ranger, the sexiest, baddest bounty hunter and businessman on two continents.

It might not be the job she’ll keep for the rest of her life, but for now it gives her the technical access she needs to find her stalker.

Tempers and temperatures rise as competition ratchets up between the two men in her life---her on-again, off-again boyfriend, tough Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and her bad-ass boss, Ranger. Can Stephanie Plum take the heat? Can you?
