She writes "high speed comic mayhem" (Detroit Free Press); she’s "a blast of
fresh air" (Washington Post), "side-splittingly funny" (Publishers Weekly) and
"a winner" (Glamour). In other words, she’s Janet Evanovich. And she debuts at
HarperCollins with a spectacular new novel, complete with high stakes, hot
nights, murder and graft. Not to mention car chases, car races, car explosions,
and car--well, you get the idea.
Alexandra Barnaby got the brains in her family. The little gray cells
certainly bypassed Barney’s younger brother, Wild Bill. He’s a pretty good boat
captain but he’s taken on a new job with his eyes conveniently closed. Before
long, Bill goes missing, so Barney is dispatched to Florida with the bugs and
the heat and the bad-hair-day humidity. Barney’s thinking things can’t get too
much worse as she makes the rounds of South Beach, unemployed and sunburned,
following her brother’s trail of broken-hearted bimbos.
Too bad for
Barney--she’s wrong about the getting worse part. Enter Sam Hooker. Somebody’s
stolen his boat and the trail leads to--you guessed it--Wild Bill. Since Will
Bill is missing, Hooker decides to follow Barney and see if she can lead him to
his boat.
Dogs and cats never die in the world of Evanovich, and bad guys
are almost always brought to justice. Sam Hooker and Alexandra Barnaby, in their
quest to reclaim what’s theirs, blast through Florida from Daytona straight on
to Key West, exposing a plot to grab Cuban land and to lay waste the people
involved. Cussing and tasteless sexual inneuendo included.
