Hardcore Twenty-Four

Janet Evanovich's #1 New York Times-bestselling sensation Stephanie Plum returns in her twenty-fourth captivating thriller, where corpses litter the streets of New Jersey. Trouble comes in bunches for Stephanie Plum.

First, professional grave robber and semi professional loon Simon Diggery won't let her take him in until she agrees to care for his boa constrictor, Ethel.

Stephanie's main qualification for babysitting an extremely large snake is that she owns a taser-whether that's for use on the wandering serpent or the petrified neighbors remains to be seen. Events take a dark turn when headless bodies start appearing across town.

At first it's just corpses from a funeral home and the morgue that have had the heads removed.

But when a homeless man is murdered and dumped behind a church, Stephanie knows that she's the only one with a prayer of catching this killer.
