Hot Six

Low-rent bounty hunter Stephanie Plum reaches depths of personal experience that other women detectives never quite do. In Hot Six, for example, a sequence of new and hideous cars bite the dust; she finds herself lumbered with a policeman's multiply incontinent dog and has several bad skin days. All this occurs while she is trying to prove her distinctly more competent colleague and occasional boyfriend, Ranger, innocent of a mob hit, evade the heavies trailing her in the hope of finding him, and cope with a wife-abusing bail defaulter with nasty habits such as setting Stephanie on fire.
