rhienellethEleven On Top comes out today! I'd forgotten that it was June, and therefore time for the latest Stephanie Plum book to hit the shelves.
The book blurb: Stephanie Plum is thinking her career as a fugitive apprehension agent has run its course. She's been shot at, spat at, cussed at, fire-bombed, mooned, and attacked by dogs. Time for a change, Stephanie thinks. Time to find the kind of job her mother can tell her friends about without making the sign of the cross.
So Stephanie Plum quits. Resigns. No looking back. No changing her mind. She wants something safe and normal. As it turns out, jobs that are safe and normal for most people aren't necessarily safe and normal for Stephanie Plum. Trouble follows her, and the kind of trouble she had at the bail bonds office can't compare to the kind of trouble she finds herself facing now. Her past has come back to haunt her. She's stalked by a maniac returned from the grave for the sole purpose of putting her into a burial plot of her own. He's killed before, and he'll kill again if given the chance. Caught between staying far away from the bounty hunter business and staying alive, Stephanie reexamines her life and the possibility that being a bounty hunter is the solution rather than the problem. After disturbingly brief careers at the button factory, Kan Klean Dry Cleaners, and Cluck-in-a-Bucket, Stephanie takes an office position in security, working for Ranger, the sexiest, baddest bounty hunter and businessman on two continents. It might not be the job she'll keep for the rest of her life, but for now it gives her the technical access she needs to find her stalker. Tempers and temperatures rise as competition ratchets up between the two men in her life -- -her on-again, off-again boyfriend, tough Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and her bad-ass boss, Ranger.
So excited! I'm heading straight to Waldens (30% off at Borders and Waldens) when I get off work today to pick up mine, thereafter not to appear online for the rest of the night, I'm sure.
ETA: Target is apparently also selling the book for 30% off, and not only that, they are giving a $5 gift card with each book, so if you shop at Target at all, it's pretty much the best deal. I believe the book price comes out at around $19.

Date: 2005-06-22 02:23 pm (UTC)Oh oh oh. I thought the series was starting to get a little . . . not old, but had the potential to start getting too repetitive to really be as exciting as it once was-- and that sounds like EXACTLY what the series needed. I'm officially excited; thank you. :)
