Janet Evanovich

Janet Evanovich takes readers on a global hunt to track down missing masterpieces in this action-packed and steamy sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller The Recovery Agent. Gabriela Rose, recovery agent extraordinaire, can find just about anything. Too bad she can't seem to lose her gorgeous-but-infuriating ex-husband Rafer Jones. And now he needs her help. His cousin, Harley, is in trouble . . . big trouble. As the president of a too-big-to-fail bank, he invested an astronomical amount of money in insuring some of the world's most priceless artifacts at the urging of his board. It seemed like a low-risk, high-reward business move, so he jumped in with both feet. But recently, these insured pieces started going missing and worse, there's no paper trail of Harley being directed to make these risky investments. Unless the artwork can be recovered soon, it looks like Harley is going to be heading to jail as the fall guy for an ingenious crime. Gabriela knows what she must do: travel around the world with Rafer to find the missing works of art, keep Harley out of jail, and save both his skin and his bank. Along the way, she'll encounter corruption, threats, murder, mysterious dark forces behind a global conspiracy to destroy the world's wealth, and a nefarious villain who will stop at nothing to bring the world to the brink of ruin.

Elveszett kincs? Ellopott örökség? Gabriela Rose, a kincsvadász tudja, hogyan szerezze vissza. Megnyerő szereplők, rendkívüli izgalmak és tökéletes humor a The New York Times bestsellerszerzőjének legújabb könyvsorozatában.

Elveszett kincs? Ellopott örökség? Gabriela Rose, a kincsvadász tudja, hogyan szerezze vissza. A megbízható, hidegvérű, éles eszű és nyelvű nő többnyire cégek és magánszemélyek megbízásait teljesíti, a legújabb küldetését azonban személyes okból vállalja: a szülei otthona kerül veszélybe, ha nem sikerül mihamarabb minél több pénzt előteremteniük. Gabriela egy régi családi legendát követve Peru dzsungelébe indul, hogy megkeresse Salamon király pecsétgyűrűjét és Lima elveszett kincsét. És teszi mindezt olyasvalakinek a társaságában, akit a háta közepére sem kíván. A volt férje, Rafer tulajdonában van ugyanis az a térkép, amely talán megmutatja az utat a kincshez, és a sármos, céltudatos férfi a világért sem hagyná, hogy Gabriela nélküle találja meg azt. Ha épp nem a múlton civakodnak, ők ketten kiváló csapatot alkotnak - az egységükre pedig mindennél nagyobb szükség lesz, ha le akarják győzni a helyi drogbárót, aki semmitől sem riad vissza, hogy megszerezze a mesés gyűrűt. „Feszültséggel teli, izgalmas, vicces és okosan szőtt történet.” - Lee Child. „Egy sodró lendületű kaland és egy új sorozat remek kezdete.” – Booklist.

Headless bodies have started appearing across town in Trenton, New Jersey... Mutilated corpses litter the streets of New Jersey in Hardcore Twenty-Four, the thrilling twenty-fourth adventure in the laugh-out-loud Stephanie Plum series by No. 1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich. The perfect read for fans of Harlan Coben and Sue Grafton. At first, it's just corpses from a funeral home and the morgue that have had the heads removed. Then a homeless man is murdered and dumped behind a church. Stephanie Plum knows that she's the only one with a prayer of catching this killer. If that's not enough, Diesel's back in town. The six-foot-tall, blond-haired hunk accepts no limits - that includes locked doors, closed windows and underwear. Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, isn't pleased at his arrival, nor is Ranger, the high-powered security consultant with his own plans for Stephanie. Jersey's favourite bounty hunter is stuck in the middle with more questions than answers. Who is behind the startling epidemic of mutilated corpses? And is the enigmatic Diesel's sudden appearance a coincidence or the cause of recent deadly events?

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has chosen a life of pulse-racing danger and adventure. But when international murder hits dangerously close to home, this could be more explosive than exciting. After a hellish holiday in Hawaii, Stephanie boards the plane to Newark hoping to put it all behind her. But when her seatmate mysteriously disappears during the stopover in LA, things are only going to get worse. He was carrying a photograph, and only one other person's seen it - Stephanie. = Now, she's a target. And if this wasn't trouble enough, she still has to deal with the fallout from Hawaii. The two men in her life - hottest cop in town, Joe Morelli, and fellow bounty hunter, Ranger - both refuse to talk about it. And all Stephanie is willing to say about her Hawaiian vacation is...It's complicated.

Stephanie Plumová je holka s pořádně proříznutou pusou a unikátním postojem i stylem. Kdo by ji odolal? Stephanie se do všeho vrhá střemhlav a ocitá se v nebezpečných situacích. Je odhodlána překonávat problémy, které se jí vytrvale staví do cesty, a prosadit se ve světě otrlých lovců zločinců. Její práce především spočívá v dopadení různých výtečníků a musí se vypořádat se zákeřnými zločinci, kteří se nejen obratně vyhýbají dopadení, ale navíc usilují o její život!

Poněkud ztřeštěná Stephanie Plumová je na tom mizerně. Nemá práci, nemá peníze a navíc jí právě zabavili auto. Dostává nabídku - mohla by začít spolupracovat s agenturou, která se zabývá kaucemi. Stačí dopadnout výtečníka, který byl propuštěn na kauci a posléze se nedostavil k soudu, a může shrábnout deset tisíc dolarů. Ale případ vůbec není tak jednoduchý, jak se na první pohled zdálo. Pokud Stephanie rychle nevezme rozum do hrsti, mohlo by se jí snadno stát, že první mrtvola, s níž se v budoucnu setká, bude její vlastní…

Agentka Stephanie se popáté pouští do pátrání se vší vervou sobě vlastní. Nejdříve se zdá, že ani není do čeho píchnout, ale jak už to chodí v životě téhle lovkyně zločinců, která by docela ráda žila ve spořádaném klídku, jenže to prostě není jejím osudem, malé a nevinné události rychle přerůstají ve velké a Stephanie se brzy ocitá ve víru dění. Tentokrát se snaží najít svého nezvěstného strýce, což vypadá neškodně, ale najednou se to kolem ní už zase hemží mrtvolami, záhadnými týpky a vyhrožujícími kriminálníky, a v jejím bytě se neustále objevují nezvaní návštěvníci. A do toho všeho se plete nenechavá babička, které se konečně podaří vyzkoušet si omračovací pistoli. Tohle svérázné a důvtipné děvče má prostě co dělat, aby rozlousklo další případ. Vyvázne z toho živá a zdravá, a navíc s všemi pěti pohromadě?
