Metro Girl (Alex Barnaby, Bk 1)

The first in a fun new series by Janet Evanovich. Alexandra Barnaby roars into the Miami Beach scene in hot pursuit of her missing baby brother "Wild" Bill. Leave it to the maverick of the family to get her involved with high speed car chases, a search for sunken treasure and Sam Hooker, a NASCAR driver who's good at revving a woman's engine. Engaged in a dedly race, Bill has borrowed Hooker's boat and sailed off into the sunset, just when Hook has plans forthe boat. Hooker figures he'll attached himself to Alexandra and may run into scumbag Bill, and better yet, maybe he'll get lucky in love with Bill's sweetie pie sister.

If this was taking place in New Jersey you'd be looking for Stephanie Plum and her cast of crazies. Not to worry, Evanovich has supplied a new cast of characters guaranteed to delight.
