About this eBook
Stephanie Plum returns to hunt down a new kind of criminal operating out of Trenton in the twenty-eighth book in the wildly popular series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich.
When Stephanie Plum is woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of footsteps in her apartment, she wishes she didn’t keep her gun in the cookie jar in her kitchen. And when she finds out the intruder is fellow apprehension agent Diesel, six feet of hard muscle and bad attitude whom she hasn’t seen in more than two years, she still thinks the gun might come in handy.
Turns out Diesel and Stephanie are on the trail of the same fugitive: Oswald Wednesday, an international computer hacker as brilliant as he is ruthless. Stephanie may not be the most technologically savvy sleuth, but she more than makes up for that with her dogged determination, her understanding of human nature, and her willingness to do just about anything to bring a fugitive to justice. Unsure if Diesel is her partner or her competition, she’ll need to watch her back every step of the way as she works to draw Wednesday out from behind his computer and into the real world in this “action-packed caper filled with crazy twists and some nail-biting suspense” (Booklist, starred review).

family-dynamics, friendship, fugitive, murder, murder-investigation, law-enforcement, situational-humor, verbal-humor, laugh-out-loud, laugh-riot, pursuit, mystery, cyber-criminal***** Stephanie is basically a skip tracer working for a bail bondsman and hunting down those who fail to appear in court. Her long termer is a police detective, her family (as well as his) is dysFUNctional. The hot guy who rarely turns up is a private eye (of sorts) and is after the same cybercriminal she is (but for different reasons). Said cyber criminal gives a whole new meaning to the term *hacker*. Every character really is, and this is one of the busiest books I've read in a while. Fantastic fun! I requested and received a free ebook copy from Atria Books via NetGalley. THANK YOU!

Interesting read that was a change of pace from my normal style, but I did enjoy it. Lots of humor with some of the characters being very funny the whole way though, although it has serious undertones and a gripping storyline. Good read!!

I REALLY enjoyed this book. It's been awhile since I've read a J.Evanovich book. I'm glad to see Ranger is still hanging in there! And Morelli. It's time for wedding bells.
