The #1 bestselling phenomenon continues in the eighth Stephanie Plum novel. Lula, Valerie, and Grandma Mazur are strapped in for the ride of their lives. The stakes get higher, the crimes get nastier, the chases get faster, and the men get hotter.This time Stephanie, Morelli, Ranger. Stephanie is hired to find a missing child. But things aren't always as they seem and Stephanie must determine if she's working for the right side of the law. Plus, there's the Morelli question: can a Jersey girl keep her head on straight when more than just bullets are aimed for her heart? And with th
Fans needn't fear, though: Jersey girl Stephanie is still full of sass and Tastykakes. In Hard Eight, Stephanie Plum picks up a case a little nastier than anything the wisecracking bounty hunter's seen before. Steph knows that Ranger will soon be calling in his marker, but with her ex- fiancé Joe Morelli out of the picture, that should be OK--shouldn't it?
