#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is certain of three truths: People donât just vanish into thin air. Never anger old people. And donât do what Tiki tells you to do. âThe most popular mystery writer alive.ââThe New York Times
After a slow summer of chasing low-level skips for her cousin Vinnieâs bail bonds agency, Stephanie Plum finally lands an assignment that could put her checkbook back in the black. Geoffrey Cubbin, facing trial for embezzling millions from Trentonâs premier assisted-living facility, has mysteriously vanished from the hospital after an emergency appendectomy. Now itâs on Stephanie to track him down. Unfortunately, Cubbin has disappeared without a trace, a witness, or his money-hungry wife. Rumors are stirring that he must have had help with the daring escape . . . or that maybe he never made it out of his room alive. Since the hospital staffâs lips seem to be tighter than the security, and itâs hard for Stephanie to blend in to assisted living, Stephanieâs Grandma Mazur goes in undercover. But when a second felon goes missing from the same hospital, Stephanie is forced into working side by side with Trentonâs hottest cop, Joe Morelli, in order to crack the case.
The real problem is, no Cubbin also means no way to pay the rent. Desperate for moneyâor maybe just desperateâStephanie accepts a secondary job guarding her secretive and mouthwatering mentor Ranger from a deadly Special Forces adversary. While Stephanie is notorious for finding trouble, she may have found a little more than she bargained for this time around. Then againâa little food poisoning, some threatening notes, and a bridesmaidâs dress with an excess of taffeta never killed anyone . . . or did they? If Stephanie Plum wants to bring in a paycheck, sheâll have to remember: No guts, no glory.
