Killer Kenny Mancuso’s on the run and Stephanie Plum needs to bring him in for a big payday.  Combining forces with Trenton’s hottest detective, Joe Morelli, might just give her a considerable advantage since Morelli and Mancuso are cousins.

When embalmed body parts start showing up on Stephanie’s doorstep, she arms herself with stun guns, defense spray, and killer flashlights.  Soon she’s spending the day staking out the local funeral parlor with her Grandma Mazur, and spending the nights staking out the streets of Trenton with Morelli.  It’s hard to say who’s going to lead Stephanie to trouble first.
