Book Description:
What's Stephanie up to now?
* Her Uncle Fred has disappeared.
* A body turns up in a garbage bag.
* She's got a nasty bookie following her around town.
* Grandma Mazur has her hands on the stun gun.
* Stephanie can't keep a car for more than forty-eight hours.
* Two men are trying to get her into bed.
* She has nothing to wear to the Mafia wedding.
* And there's an angry little man (don't call him a dwarf!) who won't leave her apartment.
Bail jumping in Trenton is down to small potatoes. Stephanie's only open case is a small bond for a small violation, committed by a small person who raises Stephanie's frustration level in big ways. So short of money and long on bills, Stephanie comes up with a plan --diversify! Signing on as an intern with entrepreneurial Super Bounty Hunter Ranger, Stephanie ventures into Ranger's mostly morally correct and marginally legal operations.
None of this makes vice cop Joe Morelli a happy man. The cop in him can't help but wonder as to the source of Stephanie's expensive new cars. And the rest of him, the man who's been friend and lover to Stephanie, can't help but wonder if there's more to the partnership than meets the eye.
The internship is downgraded to second priority when Uncle Fred goes missing. Even though Grandma Mazur is sure he was abducted by aliens, Stephanie sets out to look for Fred. He's a perfectly average senior citizen, and he's disappeared without a trace while running errands. He's left his ten-year-old Pontiac station wagon locked up nice and neat in the Grand Union parking lot, the cleaning is carefully arranged on the back seat, and his wife is at home, waiting for him to return with the bread and the milk and the olive loaf bologna. Locked in the top drawer of his desk are photos of a body, dismembered and stuffed into a garbage bag. And locked away in the computer files of a another average citizen are the clues that will lead Stephanie to Fred.

Sandra S. (Not one of my favorite stories. It focuses more on Stephanie's other jobs, than it does her bounty hunting. Although she still blunders her way around. I didn't enjoy listening to this abridged verson. The narrator changed the pronunciation of some of the names (Probaby because Grandma Mazur's last name is the same as hers). She uses one voice, as opposed to different voices to distinguishing the different characters.
Smart, sassy Stephanie Plum is at it again in a raucous, new adventure. Out of bail skippers and rent money, Stephanie throws caution to the wind and follows in the entrepreneurial bootsteps of Super Bounty Hunter Ranger, engaging in morally correct and marginally legal enterprises. Okay, so a scumball blows himself to smithereens on her first day of policing a crack house, but it's only the first day. Give her time, more bodies more fun happen.
