This is the first installment in the Stephanie plum series. Prior to this i had only read her pre-plum novels. After to reading this book I am a fan for life.

She is going for broke and had sold most of her valuables to pay the bills . So she goes to her mother's house to get a free meal and is told that her cousin Vinnie is looking for a file clerk.
Turns out the position is already filled but he lets her be a temporary bounty hunter due to the blackmail she ha don him and threatened to reveal the information to his wife. The FTA of the moment is no other but infamous Trenton cop Joe Morelli.
