Books like Hot Six by Janet Evanovich
In this fast‑paced mystery, bounty hunter Stephanie Plum and Trenton vice cop Joe Morelli collaborate to capture a madman killer responsible for the violent death of the youngest son of international black‑market arms dealer Alexander Ramos. The trail leads to Carlos Manoso, also known as Ranger—a former special‑forces operative turned soldier of fortune with a blue‑chip stock portfolio and no known address. Ranger, who once mentored Stephanie in fugitive apprehension, becomes the chief suspect. With the stakes high, Stephanie must decide whether she can bring Ranger to justice or keep her secrets.
As the hunt escalates, the line between hunter and hunted blurs, and the mystery of Ranger’s true motives tugs at every corner of New Jersey’s underworld.
This novel blends action, intrigue, and courtroom twists in the familiar setting of the Stephanie Plum series.
