Takedown Twenty (Stephanie Plum)

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Powerhouse author Janet Evanovich€s Stephanie Plum novels are €œas entertaining as ever€ (Entertainment Weekly), €œbrilliantly evocative€ (The Denver Post), and €œmaking trouble and winning hearts€ (USA Today).
 
Stephanie Plum has her sights set on catching a notorious mob boss. If she doesn€t take him down, he may take her out.
 
New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum knows better than to mess with family. But when powerful mobster Salvatore €œUncle Sunny€ Sunucchi goes on the lam in Trenton, it€s up to Stephanie to find him. Uncle Sunny is charged with murder for running over a guy (twice), and nobody wants to turn him in€"not his poker buddies, not his bimbo girlfriend, not his two right-hand men, Shorty and Moe. Even Trenton€s hottest cop, Joe Morelli, has skin in the game, because€"just Stephanie€s luck€"the godfather is his actual godfather. And while Morelli understands that the law is the law, his old-world grandmother, Bella, is doing everything she can to throw Stephanie off the trail.
 
It€s not just Uncle Sunny giving Stephanie the run-around. Security specialist Ranger needs her help to solve the bizarre death of a top client€s mother, a woman who happened to play bingo with Stephanie€s Grandma Mazur. Before Stephanie knows it, she€s working side by side with Ranger and Grandma at the senior center, trying to catch a killer on the loose€"and the bingo balls are not rolling in their favor. 
 
With bullet holes in her car, henchmen on her tail, and a giraffe named Kevin running wild in the streets of Trenton, Stephanie will have to up her game for the ultimate takedown.
