Bounty Hunter Stephanie Plum

Three to Get Deadly

Stephanie raises the ire of all and sundry in the Burg as she tries to bring in good old ice-cream vendor Uncle Mo who failed to appear for carrying concealed. Surrounded by killers and perverts, she has to deal with the horror of BRIGHT ORANGE HAIR!

Four to Score

High Five

Criminals in the Burg are attending their court dates like lambs, so what's a girl to do if she's a bounty hunter with the rent to pay? Ranger comes to the rescue with a series of interesting tasks, and provides the increasingly nervous Stephanie with the black cars that all his operatives use. Her financial circumstances aren't all that's frustrating our Stephanie, the cure is close by, but will it be super-hero Ranger or magic Morelli?

Hot Six

Turmoil again as Ranger is on the run as a suspected murderer, Morelli haunts her, and Grandma Mazur moves in.

Seven Up

How hard can it be for even Step to catch Eddie DeChooch? He may be a killer, but last time he tried to shoot someone he murdered an ironing board. But even with plus-sized woman Lula to help, he continues to evade our heroine at every turn. Not even fried chicken and doughnuts can help, and she must engage the help of super-bounty hunter, Ranger.

Ranger's price is one night of passion, not something that sometime-fiance Joe Morelli would look kindly upon. Steph must battle mad-eyed elderly women, and her mother's wedding plans to rescue friends Dealer Dougie and Mooner and reach an unencumbered climax ... but with whom?

Hard Eight

Steph's mother and grandmother join ranks and embroil our girl in the affairs of a next-door neighbour's grand-daughter. It's a new type of bond where disputing divorced parents have to put up a guarantee to prevent them absconding with a minor child.

Visions of Sugar Plums

In the surreal world of Stephanie Plum, the appearance of a strange man in her apartment heralds just another day. But this time the man with super powers may really have super powers, and just who is Stephanie hunting down, a jolly toy seller who employs little people.

Meanwhile, Saint Valerie's fall brings more than a little joy and complication in Steph's life.

To the Nines

This time cousin Vinne has written a bond to ensure an alien honours his work visa and leaves the USA in a neat and orderly manner. But of course he doesn't, causing the entry into Steph's life of the appalling Mrs Apusenja.

It culminates in the ultimate road trip -- Steph, Lula and Connie hit Las Vegas armed, dieting, and very, very dangerous.

Ten Big Ones, by Janet Evanovich

Ten Big Ones

After she becomes a witness and gang target in her usual, inimitable, accidental way, Steph must go to ground. Where is the safest place? The Bat Cave, and so knees trembling, Steph traces Ranger to his lair and like Goldilocks, sets up housekeeping in his comfortable, hopefully empty, bed.

Eleven on Top

Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter no more. After a rapid series of jobs she gets a job with Ranger, which is for the best since someone wants her dead.
Awful blurry cover, left, but the usual fun adventure inside.

Twelve Sharp

Stephanie is being stalked by a woman in Rangeman-style black who claims to be Ranger's deserted wife. When the woman is found dead, a man-hunt ensues looking for Ranger and his now-missing daughter.

Once again Steph is called upon to help save one of the men in her life.

Lean Mean Thirteen

As a favour for Ranger, Stephanie plants a bug in the office of her hated ex-husband Dickie Orr only to find herself subsequently suspected of his murder. Now Stephanie must clear her own name as the death count mounts.

Fearless Fourteen

Stephanie has more to deal with than the custody of Morelli's distant cousin's teenage son when the boy's uncle declares war on Morelli and seemingly the whole Burg decides that there are 9 million dollars buried under Morelli's house.

Plum Lucky, Janet Evanovich

Plum Lucky

Stephanie's Grandma is discovered dragging a duffle bag of money down the street, chased by an alleged leprechaun. It's Diesel and Stephanie together again as they must raise and return the money to its criminal owners.

Plum Spooky

Finger Lickin' Fifteen

Lula witnesses a murder and will only give the information to hottie cop Morelli. When the victim's backers put up a huger reward it's an inevitable comedy of errors and misadventures as our heroines try to win a bake-off and find the murderers in the face of such competitors as the nefarious Joyce Bernhardt.

Sizzling Sixteen

When Vinnie is held for ransom and no-one will pay up, it is left to Stephanie, Connie and Lula to raise 3/4 million dollars to free him. With the debt increasing daily, the women are forced to less than legal extremes to save the day.

Smokin' Seventeen

The on-again off-again relationship between Stephanie and Morelli is currently set to "seeing other people", which for Stephanie means that it's open season on Ranger, which is good news since Morelli's Grandma Bella has cursed her with an overactive libido. Meanwhile dead bodies are being discovered on the building lot where the new bonds office is to be constructed. What is the connection to Stephanie?

Explosive Eighteen

Before Stephanie can even step foot off Flight 127 Hawaii to Newark, she's knee deep in trouble. Her dream vacation turned into a nightmare, and she's flying back to New Jersey solo. Worse still, her seatmate never returned to the plane after the L.A. layover. Now he's dead--and a ragtag collection of thugs and psychos, not to mention the FBI, are all looking for a photograph he was supposed to be carrying. Only one person has seen the missing photo: Stephanie Plum. Now she's the target. An FBI sketch artist helps Stephanie re-create the person in the photo, but Stephanie's descriptive skills are lacking. Until she can improve them, she'll need to watch her back.

Notorious Nineteen

Geoffrey Cubbin, facing trial for embezzling millions from Trenton's premier assisted-living facility, has mysteriously vanished from the hospital after an emergency appendectomy. Now it's on Stephanie to track him down. Unfortunately, Cubbin has disappeared without a trace, a witness, or his money-hungry wife. Rumours 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 staff's lips seem to be tighter than the security, and it's hard for Stephanie to blend in to assisted living, Stephanie's 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 Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, in order to crack the case. (source: Amazon.com)

Takedown Twenty

when powerful mobster Salvatore "Uncle Sunny" Sunucchi goes on the lam in Trenton, it's up to Stephanie to find him. Uncle Sunny is charged with murder for running over a guy (twice), and nobody wants to turn him in.

Top Secret Twenty-One

Stephanie Plum is back again, chasing down a car dealer who has not turned up for his court date. All the usual characters are brought in - Morelli is trying to solve crime, Ranger is trying to avoid assassination, and Randy Briggs is the man who knew too much.

Tricky Twenty-Two

Ken Globovic (aka Gobbles), hailed as the Supreme Exalted Zookeeper of the animal house known as Zeta fraternity, has been arrested for beating up the dean of students at Kiltman College. Gobbles has missed his court date and gone into hiding. People have seen him on campus, but no one will talk. Things just aren't adding up, and Stephanie can't shake the feeling that something funny is going on at the college--and it's not just Zeta fraternity pranks. (Bantam, 978-0345542960)
