#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don't miss Janet Evanovich's short story "Pros and Cons" in the
back of the book. Catch a professional assassin: top priority. Find a failure-to-appear and
collect big bucks: top score. How she'll pull it all off: top secret. Trenton New Jersey's
favorite used-car dealer Jimmy Poletti was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of
his dealerships. Now he's out on bail and has missed his date in court and bounty hunter
Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead ends and all
too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli the city's hottest cop is struggling to
find a clue to the suspected killer's whereabouts. These are desperate times and they call for
desperate measures. So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really doesn't want to
do: protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy Briggs. Briggs
was picking up quick cash as Poletti's bookkeeper and knows all his boss's dirty secrets. Now
Briggs is next on Poletti's list of people to put six feet under. To top things off
Ranger-resident security expert and Stephanie's greatest temptation-has been the target of an
assassination plot. He's dodged the bullet this time but if Ranger wants to survive the next
attempt on his life he'll have to enlist Stephanie's help and reveal a bit more of his
mysterious past. Death threats highly trained assassins highly untrained assassins and
Stark Street being overrun by a pack of feral Chihuahuas are all in a day's work for Stephanie
Plum. The real challenge is dealing with her Grandma Mazur's wild bucket list. A boob job and
getting revenge on Joe Morelli's Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to what's number one on
the list-but that's top secret. Praise for Top Secret Twenty-One "The combination of biting
dialogue outrageous characters and intense story lines are consistent throughout. And [Janet
Evanovich] novels are the true definition of a guilty pleasure."-Associated Press "Evanovich
doesn't disappoint. . . . [She] weaves setting family romance and crime to pull the plot of
Top Secret Twenty-One forward."-Bookreporter
