#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In the heart of Trenton, N.J., a
killer is out to make sure someone gets his just desserts.
Larry Virgil skipped out on his latest court date after he was arrested
for hijacking an eighteen-wheeler full of premium bourbon. Fortunately
for bounty hunter Stephanie Plum, Larry is just stupid enough to attempt
almost the exact same crime again. Only this time he flees the scene,
leaving behind a freezer truck loaded with Bogart ice cream and a dead
body--frozen solid and covered in chocolate and chopped pecans.
As fate would have it, Stephanie's mentor and occasional employer,
Ranger, needs her to go undercover at the Bogart factory to find out
who's putting their employees on ice and sabotaging the business. It's
going to be hard for Stephanie to keep her hands off all that ice cream,
and even harder for her to keep her hands off Ranger. It's also going to
be hard to explain to Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, why she is
spending late nights with Ranger, late nights with Lula and Randy
Briggs--who are naked and afraid--and late nights keeping tabs on
Grandma Mazur and her new fella. Stephanie Plum has a lot on her plate,
but for a girl who claims to have "virtually no marketable skills,"
these are the kinds of sweet assignments she does best.
