Publisher's summary

Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, where bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's life is about to implode in Janet Evanovich's wildest, hottest novel yet!

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? Filled with Janet Evanovich's trademark action, nonstop adventure, and sharp humor, Twelve Sharp shows why her novels have been called "hot stuff" (The New York Times), and Evanovich herself "the master" (San Francisco Examiner).

Great beach read...listen

These characters continue to grow (although not older) and entertain. These are the best read books in the audio book business. Great performance by the author and the reader! 13 for good luck!

Laugh out loud

Stephanie Plum stories are short, fast listens, that always make me laugh out loud. Nothing better than pure entertainment. The interactions are sometimes sexy, sometimes silly and this time around, a bit more emotionally-accessible. I look forward to the next one!

Good ol' Steph...

As always Stephanie is up to her same old tricks. If you have kept up with her, you know that she is predictable and stays true to form. If not for the cast of characters that surround her, the book would be hard reading.

Check - #12 done

I’ve chosen to listen to the Stephanie Plum series this summer. Started readying the series years ago, took a long break because I wanted to binge read them, but have chosen to listen. Narrator is great! Totally enjoying the progression of characters! I’ve had many laugh out loud moments! Thanks for the author interviews at the end.

Stephanie Fan

As always Janet Evanovich is funny! This book follows the same formula as the other Plum books..just an enjoyable break from life..I would like to see Steph get a little older. Who says you cant get into the same kind of trouble if you are a little older? I am ready for a break in the Ranger/Morelli tension.

She just doesn't disappoint

This series is perfect if you just want to have an enjoyable listen. Great Character development, you feel like you know these people. There really isn't a plot, because there isn't suppose to be one. That is not her intention, her intention is to create a series that is fun and enjoyable. For this I, for one am very grateful. I can use this kind of writing from time to time. Thank you Janet!

one of the best yet! i LOVE LOVE LOVE her books.

I think it is the best in the series so far. Grandma Masser had me laughing so hard. I Know people thought I was Crazy . Driving around laughing in my car I'm sure they thought I was on drugs. I was listening at work and laughing out loud as well I'm sure my coworkers thought I must be on drugs too. LOL
Janet just keeps improving with every book . She is a fantastic writer.
