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. 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. 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. 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. He’s killed before, and he’ll kill again if given the chance.

She’s stalked by a maniac returned from the grave for the sole purpose of putting her into a burial plot of her own.

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. As it turns out, jobs that are safe and normal for most people aren’t necessarily safe and normal for Stephanie Plum. Time to find the kind of job her mother can tell her friends about without making the sign of the cross. She’s been shot at, spat at, cussed at, fire-bombed, mooned, and attacked by dogs. Stephanie Plum is thinking her career as a fugitive apprehension agent has run its course.
