Seven up (ST MARTINS PR)

New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is on the trail of semi-retired bail jumper Eddie DeChooch, an old man who can still slip out of sight. When a corpse is found in Eddie's garden and two of her friends vanish, Stephanie finds herself making a devil's bargain with her mentor, the Ranger, who'll give her all the help she needs--if she gives him everything he wants.
