Hardcore Twenty Four is the twenty-fourth hilarious mystery in the sizzling Stephanie Plum series by No. 1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich

---

Headless bodies have started appearing across town in Trenton, New Jersey...

Mutilated corpses litter the streets of New Jersey in Hardcore Twenty-Four, the thrilling twenty-fourth adventure in the laugh-out-loud Stephanie Plum series by No. 1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich. The perfect read for fans of Harlan Coben and Sue Grafton.

Raves for Janet Evanovich´s bestselling novels: ´Razor sharp´ (Sunday Express); ´Non-stop laughs with plenty of high jinks´ (USA Today); ´Pithy, witty and fast-paced´ (The Sunday Times).

At first, it´s just corpses from a funeral home and the morgue that have had the heads removed. Then a homeless man is murdered and dumped behind a church. Stephanie Plum knows that she´s the only one with a prayer of catching this killer.

If that´s not enough, Diesel´s back in town. The six-foot-tall, blond-haired hunk accepts no limits - that includes locked doors, closed windows and underwear. Trenton´s hottest cop, Joe Morelli, isn´t pleased at his arrival, nor is Ranger, the high-powered security consultant with his own plans for Stephanie.

Jersey´s favourite bounty hunter is stuck in the middle with more questions than answers. Who is behind the startling epidemic of mutilated corpses? And is the enigmatic Diesel´s sudden appearance a coincidence or the cause of recent deadly events?

What readers are saying about the Stephanie Plum series:

´Janet Evanovich is a master creator of personalities, and the characters of Stephanie Plum, Lula and the irrepressible Grandma Mazur are works of art´

´Thrilling with a wicked sense of humour pervading the book´

´There is something for everyone - adventure, action, romance, comedy and sex´
