VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS by Janet Evanovich - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by Janet Evanovich.Stephanie Plum, the least organized bounty hunter and holiday shopper (Hard Eight,
2002, etc.) in Trenton, New Jersey, has never much cared whether 'tis
the season to be jolly. Nor is there much hope for this Yule, given the
way it's started.
Steph's sitting at her ease in her kitchen, sipping
morning coffee, enjoying special time with Rex, her pet hamster, when
"poof, there he was," all six-feet-plus of him-blond wavy hair,
dazzling smile, pecs out of the bodybuilder's Hall of Fame, calling
himself Diesel (just the one name, thanks).
Sure, says Steph, but who
is he, she wants to know; forgive her for not taking too seriously his
claim to be "the friggin Spirit of Christmas." Still, there's
definitely something strange about this spectral hunk.
Unwilling to be
a bounty hunter who's not ready to accept fate's occasional bounties,
Steph enlists Diesel in hunting her latest Failure to Appear: a
toy-maker named (brace yourself) Sandy Klaws.
He's wanted on a burglary
charge, though it turns out there are extenuating circumstances. Off
they go, Steph and her supercharged ad hoc sidekick, who, if he's not
actually extraterrestrial, is certainly extra sexy, as several Plum
women attest.
There's one scene Steph's fans won't want to miss: the Jersey girl
chased from a toy factory by a mob of enraged elves. So bring out the plastic reindeer, strap on your jingle bells, and get ready to celebrate the holidays-Jersey style.
