New secrets, old flames, and hidden agendas are about to send bounty hunter Stephanie Plum on her most outrageous adventure yet!
MISTAKE #1
Dickie Orr
Stephanie was married to him for about fifteen minutes before she caught him cheating on her with her archnemesis, Joyce Barnhardt. Another fifteen minutes after that, Stephanie filed for divorce, hoping never to see either one of them again.
MISTAKE #2
Doing favors for super bounty hunter Carlos Manoso (aka Ranger)
Ranger needs Stephanie to meet with Dickie and find out if he's doing something shady. Turns out, he is. Turns out, Dickie's also back to doing Joyce Barnhardt. And it turns out Ranger's favors always come with a price. . . .
MISTAKE #3
Going completely nutso while doing the favor for Ranger, and trying to apply bodily injury to Dickie in front of the entire office
Now Dickie has disappeared, and Stephanie is the natural suspect in his disappearance. Is Dickie dead? Can he be found? And can Stephanie Plum stay one step ahead in this new, dangerous game? Joe Morelli, the hottest cop in Trenton, New Jersey, is also keeping Stephanie on her toes—-and he may know more than he's saying about many things in Stephanie's life. It's a cat-and-mouse game for Stephanie Plum wherein the ultimate prize might be her life.
With Janet Evanovich's flair for hilarious situations, breathtaking action, and unforgettable characters, Lean Mean Thirteen shows why no one can beat Evanovich for blockbuster entertainment.

      Lorelei King teams up with Evanovich for this newest laugh-out-loud Stephanie Plum novel. King is so Plum, perfectly catching the bounty hunter's sardonic view of life, love, and crime. King is also great at dramatizing two of Plum's least favorite people: Dickie Orr, her annoying ex-husband, to whom she was married for only 15 minutes, and his new girlfriend, Plum's arch-nemesis, the shapely, snotty Joyce Bernhardt, who's after Dickie's money. When Dickie goes missing with $40 million, Plum gets mixed up with a mess of wacky characters, all of whom King actualizes perfectly--from Lula the ex-prostitute to a taxidermist who plants bombs inside dead beavers. This CD includes an interview with the author. S.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from May 28, 2007
      In her rollicking 13th Stephanie Plum adventure (after Twelve Sharp
      ), bestseller Evanovich is in top, quirky form. Plucky, bumbling New Jersey bounty hunter Plum is reunited with her two-timing lawyer ex-husband, Dickie Orr, while doing a favor for the mysterious, sexy Ranger. But when Dickie disappears from his house leaving behind only bloodstains and bullet holes, Plum becomes the prime suspect in his alleged murder. Determined to clear her name, Plum and her on-again off-again Trenton cop boyfriend, the irresistible Joe Morelli, uncover Dickie’s ties to a shady group of men involved in everything from money laundering to drug running. And when Dickie’s jilted business partners decide Stephanie holds the key to the $40 million they believe Dickie stole from them, she’s in for a wild ride. With the author’s usual cast of eccentric side characters—everything from a taxidermist with a penchant for bombs to a grave-robbing tax man—Evanovich proves once again that Stephanie Plum and her entourage are here to stay.

      When bodacious bounty hunter Stephanie Plum goes to her ex-husband's apartment, she finds blood stains on the carpet and suspects he's either dead or kidnapped. She doesn't really care, but she knows the police will blame her because she's threatened to kill him before, so--with the help of her boyfriend-- she sets out to discover what happened. Lorelei King shows flexibility as she performs the cast of unpredictable characters that that make up Plum's world. King's performance gives the sense of multiple narrators. She delivers the comedic aspects of this mystery with expert vocal manipulation and produces a variety of believable accents. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
