One for the Money By Evanovich, Janet 2003-04 - St. Martin's Press 9780312990459 Check Our Catalog #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JANET EVANOVICH ONE FOR THE MONEY A Stephanie Plum Novel "Comes roaring in like a blast of very fresh air...Goes down like a tall, cool, drink." -"The Washington Post" READ THE DYNAMITE BLOCKBUSTER THAT STARTED IT ALL! "Snappily written, fast paced and witty." -"USA Today" ONE FINE MESS Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, home to wiseguys, average Joes, and Stephanie Plum, who sports a big attitude and even bigger money problems (since losing her job as a lingerie buyer for a department store). Stephanie needs cash-fast-but times are tough, and soon she's forced to turn to the last resort of the truly desperate: family... ONE FALSE MOVE Stephanie lands a gig at her sleazy cousin Vinnie's bail bonding company. She's got no experience. But that doesn't matter. As does the fact that the bail jumper in question is local vice cop Joe Morelli. From the time he first looked up her dress to the time he first got into her pants, to the time Steph hit him with her father's Buick, M-o-r-e-l-l-i has spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e. And now the hot guy is in hot water-wanted for murder...

Still, if Stephanie can nab Morelli in a week, she'll make a cool ten grand. All she has to do is become an expert bounty hunter overnight-and keep herself from getting killed before she gets her man...

Her plot is ingenious and fresh, her dialogue breezy, bright, witty, and gutsy." -"Booklist "p0(starred Review) …More
