**FIRST A STRANGER APPEARS**
While chasing down the usual cast of miscreants and weirdos, Stephanie discovers that a crazed woman is stalking her.
**THEN THE STRANGER REVEALS HER SECRETS**
The woman dresses in black, carries a 9mm Glock, and has a bad attitude and a mysterious connection to dark and dangerous Carlos Manoso …street name, Ranger.
**NEXT, SOMEBODY DIES**
The action turns deadly serious, and Stephanie goes from hunting skips to hunting a murderer.
**SOON, THE CHASE IS ON**
Ranger needs Stephanie for more reasons than he can say. And now, the two are working together to find a killer, rescue a missing child, and stop a lunatic from raising the body count. When Stephanie Plum and Ranger get too close for comfort, vice cop Joe Morelli (her on-again, off-again boyfriend) steps in. Will the ticking clock stop at the stroke of twelve…or will a stranger in the wind find a way to stop Stephanie Plum…forever?
