Mať za suseda síce príťažlivého, ale veľmi svojrázneho umelca, nie je vždy výhrou. Louisu Branniganovú nielenže prenasledujú nepríjemné pachy zo susedovho varenia, noc čo noc ju budí jeho telefón, ale obeťou neznámych útočníkov sa stane aj jej auto parkujúce pred domom. Začína toho mať už plné zuby. Lenže šarmantný pán Pete Streeter má na pokračovanie ich známosti trochu iný názor...

Bez práce a peněz, po zabavení auta, dostává nabídku spolupracovat s kauční agenturou: dopadnout uprchlého zločince a získat deset tisíc dolarů. Avšak případ se ukazuje jako složitější, než se zdá, a pokud se Stephanie rychle nezorientuje, mohla by se stát další obětí. V dalším dobrodružství se snaží dopadnout Kennyho Mancusa, mladíka podezřelého z vraždy svého nejlepšího kamaráda. Po nedávném odchodu z armády a s podezřelým bohatstvím je Kenny spojen s Joem Morellim, policistou s pochybnými metodami. Stephanie se ocitá v komplikované situaci, snaží se vyhnout Morellimu a čelí nebezpečnému nepříteli. Navíc musí najít zmizelého strýčka Mo, majitele cukrárny, kvůli směšnému prohřešku. Situace se zhoršuje, když se dostává do blízkosti mrtvého drogového dealera a musí se bránit obviněním a útokům zločinců, kteří se snaží ochránit své tajemství. Stephanie se musí mít na pozoru, aby tento zapeklitý případ nebyl jejím posledním.
Low-rent bounty hunter Stephanie Plum reaches depths of personal experience that other women detectives never quite do. In Hot Six, for example, a sequence of new and hideous cars bite the dust; she finds herself lumbered with a policeman's multiply incontinent dog; and she has several bad skin days. All this when she is trying to prove her distinctly more competent colleague and occasional boyfriend Ranger innocent of a mob hit; avoid the heavies trailing her in the hope of finding him; and cope with a wife-abusing bail defaulter with nasty habits, such as setting Stephanie on fire.
Stephanie Plum's uncle has disappeared and Grandma thinks he has been abducted by aliens. Things turn serious when Stephanie finds a photo of dismembered body parts in his desk. Meanwhile, she has to bring in bail-jumping, vertically-challenged Randy Briggs.
Working for her bail bondsman cousin Vinnie, Stephanie is hot on the trail of revenge-seeking waitress Maxine Nowicki, whose crimes include bail jumping, theft, and extortion. Someone is terrifying Maxine's friends, and those who have seen her are turning up dead. Also on the hunt for Maxine is Joyce Barnhardt, Stephanie's archenemy and rival bounty hunter. Stephanie's attitude never wavers, even when aided by crazy Grandma Mazur, ex-hooker and wannabe bounty hunter Lula, and transvestite rock musician Sally Sweet, and even when Stephanie makes an enemy whose deadly tactics escalate from threatening messages to firebombs. All of this pales in comparison, though, with an even greater danger Stephanie faces, when, homeless and broke, she and her hamster Rex move in with a vice cop Joe Morelli

You've lost your job as a department store lingerie buyer, your car's been repossessed, and most of your furniture and small appliances have been sold off to pay last month's rent. Now the rent is due again. And you live in New Jersey. What do you do? If you're Stephanie Plum, you become a bounty hunter. But not just a nickel-and-dime bounty hunter; you go after the big money. That means a cop gone bad. And not just any cop. She goes after Joe Morelli, a disgraced former vice cop who is also the man who took Stephanie's virginity at age 16 and then wrote details on a bathroom wall. With pride and rent money on the line, Plum plunges headlong into her first case, one that pits her against ruthless adversaries - people who'd rather kill than lose.
