Out of work for months, with her savings gone and her car repossessed, Stephanie Plum is desperate enough to ask her cousin, Vinnie for a job. But the filing job had already been filled, so she decides to try her hand at bounty hunting. How hard can it be?

It turns out to be very difficult. Most of the criminals won't come when asked politely. And she did target Joe Morelli, a cop on the run trying to prove he was framed. Still, that huge paycheck and a shared past keep her focused on Morelli. But when boxer Benito Ramirez starts dogging her trail, she begins to suspect she's in over her head. Can she survive long enough to bring Morelli in?

I've heard a lot about these Stephanie Plum books but have never read one. I'm glad I did. The writing style is engaging and the pace fast. I had a hard time putting the book down and when I did I couldn't stop thinking about. When I finished it, I ordered the second in the series to see what would happen next to the main characters.

I now see why this series is so popular. The characters and storyline make for quick, light reading. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
