Descripción editorial
Stephanie Plum breaks the rules, flirts with disaster, and shows who's boss in the latest smash hit from No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich.
Monday mornings should be predictable. Stephanie Plum knows that something is amiss when she turns up for work at Vinnie's Bail Bonds to find that longtime office manager Connie Rosolli, as reliable as the tides in Atlantic City, hasn't shown up.
Stephanie's fears are confirmed when she gets a call from Connie's abductor. He says he will only release her in exchange for a mysterious coin that a recently murdered man left as collateral for his bail. Unfortunately, this coin, which should be in the office - just like Connie -is nowhere to be found.
The quest to save Connie will require the help of Stephanie's Grandma Mazur, her best pal Lula, her boyfriend Morelli, and hunky security expert Ranger. As they get closer to the truth, Connie's captor grows more threatening, and soon Stephanie has no choice but to follow her instincts, and go rogue. She is more shocked by the results than anyone.
Full of surprises, thrills, and humour, Going Rogue shows Janet Evanovich at her scorching, riotous best.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of bestseller Evanovich's fast and fun 29th outing for Stephanie Plum (after 2021's Game On), the Trenton, N.J., bail bondswoman arrives at work one morning to find Connie Rosolli, the ever dependable office manager at Vincent Plum Bail Bonds, gone and the storeroom ransacked. Stephanie later receives a phone call demanding that she turn over a special coin that a recently murdered client gave to Vinnie, her cousin and boss, as collateral and that's now missing. If she fails to find the coin within 24 hours, Connie will suffer the consequences. Assisted by her feisty grandma, Mazur; her doughnut-eating, pistol-packing colleague, Lula; and her occasional lover, Ranger, owner of a high-tech security firm in downtown Trenton, Stephanie checks out several eccentric individuals, including a comic book collecting geek with a penchant for role play and an accountant turned panhandler and pickpocket. Never mind the surfeit of shifting characters and motives, or the late arrival of the bad guys and their nefarious doings. Perky, fast-talking Stephanie's nonstop monologue of zany events keeps the pages turning. This fetchingly frivolous entry may not be Evanovich's best, but it satisfies.
