“The most popular mystery writer alive.”—The New York Times
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.

Some fans of the Stephanie Plum series may feel the formula is wearing a bit thin, but Lorelei King's narration gives the quirky characters enough zing to keep the premise fresh. As usual, Stephanie bumbles through her days as a New Jersey bounty hunter, but the serene voice King provides her seems to reveal confidence beneath the mayhem. When King purrs "Bayybe," you can envision Ranger's black T-shirt stretched across his biceps, and when she insists on "Cluck in a Bucket," you can picture her outrageously manicured nails (by Lula) digging into her favorite snack. When Stephanie and Lula are startled by a chocolate-covered dead body rolling out the back of an eighteen-wheeler, they dig into the shady goings-on (and the chocolate bars) at a local ice cream manufacturer.
