Stephanie Plum: Burg Bounty Hunter

Stephanie Plum was the lingerie buyer for a discount chain until financial reverses left her hocking her belongings to get by. The repo man is after her car, and she and her faithful hamster Rex are reduced to hamster nuggets. Her parents send her to Cousin Vinnie, a bail bondsman with a taste for young men with nipple rings and pointed breasts and buxom women -- and a duck. Thanks to the duck, and a little blackmail, Stephanie gets herself a week to chase down a killer and earn a $10,000 bounty.

The killer is a cop, Morelli, a lean bodied ghost from her past who taught her to play 'trains' as a child, and relieved her of her virginity as a teenager. Years later Stephanie accidentally knocked him down while driving a Buick on the sidewalk.

Of course Stephanie has no training in bounty hunting, her favourite exercises are shopping and eating, which is par for the course in the Burg. A land of the extended family, once practically a retirement village for wise guys, where little old ladies have to swap their .45s for something smaller after their hip replacements. Our heroine is afraid of her gun, and generally keeps it in a cookie jar on her kitchen bench (a la Rockford).

Stephanie is the Eliza Doolittle of Bounty Hunters and her Professor Higgins is Ranger (Ricardo Carlos Manoso) a Cuban-American hard body with special training, a secret home, and an endless supply of expensive black cars of doubtful provenance. Like all great super heroes Ranger works on the outskirts of the law, living in secret places and using really cool expensive toys from inexplicable places.

The Stephanie Plum series is comedy, a closely observed vignette of an idiosyncratic community, full of guns, knives, exploding funeral homes, bodies that fly off car roof racks, and more.

Stephanie Rules, buy volume one for your friends and share the addiction.

A Festivale recommendation.

High Five

Criminals in the Burg are attending their court dates like lambs, so what's a girl to do if she's a bounty hunter with the rent to pay? Ranger comes to the rescue with a series of interesting tasks, and provides the increasingly nervous Stephanie with the black cars that all his operatives use. Her financial circumstances aren't all that's frustrating our Stephanie, the cure is close by, but will it be super-hero Ranger or magic Morelli?

Seven Up

How hard can it be for even Step to catch Eddie DeChooch? He may be a killer, but last time he tried to shoot someone he murdered an ironing board. But even with plus-sized woman Lula to help, he continues to evade our heroine at every turn. Not even fried chicken and doughnuts can help, and she must engage the help of super-bounty hunter, Ranger.

Ranger's price is one night of passion, not something that sometime-fiance Joe Morelli would look kindly upon. Steph must battle mad-eyed elderly women, and her mother's wedding plans to rescue friends Dealer Dougie and Mooner and reach an unencumbered climax ... but with whom? See Ali's Review

In the surreal world of Stephanie Plum, the appearance of a strange man in her apartment heralds just another day. But this time the man with super powers may really have super powers, and just who is Stephanie hunting down, a jolly toy seller who employs little people.

This time cousin Vinne has written a bond to ensure an alien honours his work visa and leaves the USA in a neat and orderly manner. But of course he doesn't, causing the entry into Steph's life of the appalling Mrs Apusenja.

It culminates in the ultimate road trip -- Steph, Lula and Connie hit Las Vegas armed, dieting, and very, very dangerous.
