Synopses & Reviews
A Featured Alternate Selection of the Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club and a Main Selection of the Mystery Guild
Janet Evanovich, bestselling author of One for the Money, Two for the Dough, and Three to Get Deadly, scores big with Four to Score, her most thrilling Stephanie Plum adventure yet. Working for her bail bondsman cousin Vinnie, Stephanie is hot on the trail of revenge-seeking waitress Maxine Nowicki, whose crimes include bail jumping, theft, and extortion. Someone is terrifying Maxine's friends, and those who have seen her are turning up dead. Also on the hunt for Maxine is Joyce Barnhardt, Stephanie's archenemy and rival bounty hunter. Stephanie's attitude never wavers-- even when aided by crazy Grandma Mazur, ex-hooker and wannabe bounty hunter Lula, and transvestite rock musician Sally Sweet-- and even when Stephanie makes an enemy whose deadly tactics escalate from threatening messages to firebombs. All of this pales in comparison, though, with an even greater danger Stephanie faces, when, homeless and broke, she and her hamster Rex move in with a vice cop Joe Morelli. RATED PG35 for licentious wit and libidinous cohabitation.

Synopsis
Working for her bail-bondsman cousin Vinnie, sassy, savvy, smart-mouthed bounty hunter Stephanie Plum this time finds herself hot on the trail of revenge-seeking waitress Maxine Nowicki, whose crimes include bail jumping, theft, and extortion. Someone is terrifying Maxine's friends, and those who have seen her are turning up dead. Also on the hunt for Maxine is Joyce Barnhardt, Stephanie's archenemy and rival bounty hunter.
Stephanie's attitude never wavers, even when helped (and sometimes hindered) by a posse that includes her seventy-three-year-old crazy Grandma Mazur, ex-hooker and wannabe bounty hunter Lula, and towering transvestite rock musician Sally Sweet-- and even when Stephanie makes an enemy whose deadly tactics escalate from threatening messages to firebombs.
All of this pales in comparison, though, with an even greater danger Stephanie faces when, homeless and broke, she and her hamster, Rex, move in with sexy vice cop Joe Morelli. The star of best-selling novels One for the Money, Two for the Dough, and Three to Get Deadly-- this is Stephanie Plum's most thrilling adventure yet!
