Hot Six
Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum and Trenton vice cop Joe Morelli join forces to find the madman killer who shot and barbecued the youngest son of international black-market arms dealer Alexander Ramos.
Carlos Manoso, street name Ranger, is caught on video just minutes before the crime occurs. He's at the scene, he's with the victim, and he's the number-one suspect. Ranger is former special forces turned soldier of fortune. He has a blue-chip stock portfolio and no known address. He moves in mysterious circles. He's Stephanie's mentor--the man who taught her everything she knows about fugitive apprehension. And he's more than her friend.
Now he's the hunted and Stephanie's the hunter, and it's time for her to test her skills against the master. But if she does catch him...what then? Can she bring herself to turn him in?
Plus there are other things keeping Stephanie awake at night. Her maternal grandmother has set up housekeeping in Stephanie's apartment, a homicidal maniac has selected Stephanie as his next victim, her love life is in the toilet, she's adopted a dog with an eating disorder, and she can't button the top snap on her Levi's.
Experience the world of Plum--in Janet Evanovich's new thriller. It's surreal, it's frenetic, it's incendiary.
Hot Six. It's the best yet.

Janet Evanovich
In a genre packed with corpses, car chases, and high-stakes drama, Janet Evanovich carved out a space all her own—where crime meets comedy, and chaos is just another day in the life of bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. Blending mystery with mischief and a dash of romantic tension, Evanovich didn’t just break the mold of the traditional detective novel—she reloaded it with glitter, attitude, and Trenton, New Jersey swagger.
Long before she became one of the most recognizable names in crime fiction, Evanovich was a working mom in New Hampshire, writing romance novels at the kitchen table between carpools and casseroles. Her early career in romance taught her pacing and character chemistry, but it wasn’t until she added explosions, handcuffs, and the occasional donut-fueled stakeout that her voice truly found its wild, unmistakable rhythm.
Stephanie Plum
In a world of cold, calculating crime fiction, the Stephanie Plum series flips the script—with high heels, hot tempers, and hilariously high-stakes mayhem. Set in the unglamorous heart of Trenton, New Jersey, this long-running series follows an underqualified bounty hunter with a knack for catching criminals—and blowing up cars along the way.
Stephanie Plum consists of thirty-one books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
