Two for the Dough

Janet Evanovich's first Stephanie Plum outing, the Dilys award-winning One for the Money, was a finalist for the Edgar, Anthony, Agatha, Shamus, and Macavity awards, and was named the book "most fun to sell" by the Independent Mystery Booksellers of America in 1994. Now she once again takes to the mean streets of Trenton, armed with attitude (not to mention stun guns, defense sprays, killer flashlights, and her untrustworthy .38) to find Kenny Mancuso, who recently left the army, inadvertently shot his best friend, and is on the run in violation of a bond. Aided by her tough bounty hunter coach and her irrepressible Grandma Mazur, Stephanie once again forms a rocky alliance with fast-talking, slow-handed vice cop Joe Morelli for the tumultuous chase through back alleys and Grandma's favorite funeral parlors. Witty, fresh, and full of surprises, Two for the Dough is the Stephanie Plum sequel fans have been waiting for.
