It begins as an innocent trip to the deli-mart, on a quest for nachos. It gets firebombed pretty early in Ten Big Ones. If you are keeping track of the vehicles Stephanie destroys: her canary yellow Ford Escape survived book nine. Rex still lives in a soup can (now at Ranger's) and Bob the Dog still lives with Morelli. Speaking of same old, the sexual tension between Ranger and Plum has not diminished.

The culprit is a member of an increasingly violent gang, the "Red Devils." Because Stephanie can identify the Red Devil she is a target and must go into hiding.in Ranger's high-tech posh apartment. For the serious, Stephanie and Lula are witness to a deli being robbed then firebombed. For the goofy, this time she needs to bring in a woman addicted to potato chips and other snack items. There is always something dangerous and something goofy going on with Stephanie's collars. Lula and Stephanie are still trying to bring in the bad guys. Stephanie's mom is still plying people with baked goods. Grandma Mazur is still attending funerals as a dating ploy. It is three months later and Stephanie has broken up with Morelli again.

Ten Big Ones is page-turning entertainment, and Janet Evanovich is the best there is … ( more) With Lula riding shotgun and Grandma Mazur on the loose, Stephanie Plum is racing against the clock in her most suspenseful novel yet. And if the Junkman doesn't find her first. There's only one safe place, and it has Ranger's name all over itâ?-if she can find it. With super bounty hunter Ranger acting more mysteriously than ever (and the tension with vice cop Joe Morelli getting hotter), she finds herself with a decision to make: how to protect herself and where to hide while on the hunt for a killer known as the Junkman. It would be just another day in the life of Stephanie Plum, except that she becomes the target of a gangâ?-and of an even scarier, more dangerous force that comes to Trenton. A robbery leads to an explosion, which leads to the destruction of yet another car. But Stephanie Plum and her partner, Lula, are clearly in the wrong place at the wrong time. She's Stephanie Plum, and she kicks butt for a living (well, she thinks it sounds good to put it that way.). Her mother's convinced she'll end up dead. She's a target for every psycho and miscreant this side of the Jersey Turnpike. She's accidentally destroyed a dozen cars.

Janet Evanovich is the hottest author in America, and her Stephanie Plum novels have taken the nation by storm!
