Top Secret Twenty-One: A witty, wacky and fast-paced mystery

Small guy. Big trouble.

Death threats, highly trained assassins and highly untrained assassins are all in a day''s work for Stephanie Plum in Top Secret Twenty-One. Janet Evanovich''s hilarious bestselling series is perfect reading for fans of Sue Grafton and JD Robb.

Praise for Evanovich''s bestselling novels: ''A laugh-out-loud page turner'' (Heat); ''Sharp dialogue, a little slapstick and a little romance'' (The Sunday Times); ''Highly enjoyable... who can resist?'' (Chicago Tribune).

Stephanie Plum has just one job lined up - tracking down Jimmy Poletti: car-dealer and all-round scumbag. Problem is he''s on the run, and silencing his former colleagues, one bullet at a time. Plum is going to need bait to bring him in. Bait like Poletti''s ex-bookkeeper, Randy Briggs: a ninety-two-centimeter-tall magnet for bored housewives and rocket-propelled grenades.

To make things worse, there''s a one-eyed Russian assassin who''s out to get revenge on Ranger, Stephanie''s part-time temptation and full-time protector. Who is the one-eyed Russian and what''s his connection to the former Special Forces operative? Afraid that''s top secret.
