Top Secret Twenty-One A Stephanie Plum Novel

Stephanie Plum, Trenton's most accident-prone bounty hunter, is back on the job with a high-stakes case involving a wealthy former employer, Bob Hoenig. Hoenig wants Stephanie to track down his former employee, Brenda Barnum, who has absconded with sensitive company documents and subsequently disappeared. Adding to the pressure, Stephanie learns that the elusive and intensely capable security expert, Ranger, is also looking for Brenda, creating a dangerous race against time with personal stakes. The familiar, quirky ensemble of Stephanie's life – including her sharp-witted Grandma Mazur, her loyal dispatcher Connie, and her boisterous friend Lula – are, as usual, drawn into the whirlwind of her investigation, often becoming unwitting participants in the unfolding chaos. This installment in the Stephanie Plum series delivers its signature blend of comedic misadventure and lighthearted crime-solving, exploring themes of corporate espionage, personal betrayal, and the often-absurd lengths people go to for information and revenge.
