aBookaDay - 2016
If you have not yet bought the original copy, make sure to purchase it before buying this unofficial summary from aBookaDay. SPECIAL OFFER $2.99 (Regularly priced: $3.99) SUMMARY Tricky Twenty-Two is the twenty-second, and most recent novel, in the Stephanie Plum book series, authored by Janet Evanovich. The books tell the story of a woman named Stephanie Plum who stumbles into a career as a bounty hunter. In the beginning, it takes her some time to get the hang of the job. However, in Tricky Twenty-Two she’s developed relationships and has an interesting colleague named Lula that provide her with assistance in her work. The book starts out with her colleague, Lula and her trying to talk a woman down from a ledge. Joe Morelli, Stephanie’s boyfriend (who’s also a cop), shows up and manages to talk the woman down. It’s after this that Stephanie goes back to his place where he, unfortunately, dumps her after they have sex. Stephanie leaves his place angry and returns to work the next day with signs of her stress on her face in the form of a zit. She receives two assignments; Ken “Gobbles” Globovic and Billy “Bacon” Brown. The book weaves the main case Stephanie is working around the other assignments she receives. One of the jobs Stephanie receives is from Ranger, assisting as security for a man named Doug Linken, and his wife, Monica when they attend the funeral of Linken’s late colleague, Harry Getz. Later in the book, it’s revealed that Doug and Harry are Zeta alumni. Gobbles is a Zeta fraternity brother and his story, and the fraternity house, are the main focus of the book. During the search for Gobbles and the investigation into the Zeta fraternity, Stephanie and Lula meet Dean Mintner and Professor Pooka. Pooka is an eccentric biology professor and Gobbles’ faculty advisor, as well as the den father (they don’t have a den mother because one night one of the brothers got the den mother pregnant) for the Zeta fraternity. Both Mintner and Pooka point Stephanie and Lula in the direction of Gobbles’ girlfriend Julie. Stephanie suspects that Gobbles is bunking with Julie so her and Ranger go and check it out. There’s no sign of him, and after checking out the apartment, the two decide to go for burgers. It’s here that they spot Gobbles, however, he gets away. Throughout the book, the Zetas play pranks on Stephanie and Lula (beer balloons, graffiti and geese in their cars, etc.,). This further plays into Pooka’s and Mintner’s opinion of the Zeta fraternity. However, towards the end of the book, we learn that Mintner and Pooka are out to destroy the fraternity, and are, in fact, the villains. We learn this when Gobbles sends Julie to talk to Stephanie. Julie and Gobbles tell Stephanie that for homecoming the Zetas were planning on creating fireworks with stink bombs attached to them. Gobbles and his friend Becker were in charge of executing this plane. However, they soon found out that they needed help and decided to ask Pooka. It was at this point that things got out of hand. It’s revealed that Pooka slowly started to lose his mind and developed a plan to attach tubes filled with fleas that were infected with the bubonic plague virus. When the fireworks went off at homecoming, the fleas would infect everyone on the campus and result in the death of everyone. In the process of working on another assignment, Stephanie is kidnapped by Pooka.

The Essential Sam Jameson / Peter Kittredge Box Set: The Incident, #1-8 and Balls Deep
Lars Emmerich - 2015
Save over half off the cover price on three runaway international hits: The Incident Season 1, The Incident Season 2, and Balls Deep. THE INCIDENT: Where do you run when even the good guys want you dead? Special Agent Sam Jameson is having a bad week. People are trying to kill her.
That would be business as usual in the counterespionage world, except that it’s the good guys who have her in the crosshairs. Why are the DC Metro police trying to kidnap her? Do her bosses at Homeland want her in a body bag, too? And why does everyone she talks to seem to end up in the morgue? Will a ruthless mercenary, a hapless American traitor, and a dead man’s cryptic clue hold the key to Sam’s survival? As the noose tightens around her neck, Sam must uncover a brutal and deadly conspiracy before she becomes its next victim. BALLS DEEP: Peter Kittredge is middle-aged, unassuming, bisexual, and frequently — perpetually, one might say — bombed out of his mind. He also found a dead man in his own bed, and he managed to accidentally stab a CIA agent. Twenty-seven times. Oops. How will the rest of the week unfold? Interview with author Lars Emmerich Q - So, what makes Sam Jameson and Peter Kittredge special? A - It's a mix of things, really. When I set out to write these books, I wanted to create something that mirrored exactly the kind of books I like to read. My top picks are usually espionage and private detective novels, any of the thousands of thrillers and mysteries best sellers, and, of course, books featuring classic pulp heroes. I also like heroes with problems and villains who are frighteningly human, maybe a little too much like us. The Sam Jameson and Peter Kittredge books are a mix of these genres. The series focuses on the mystery and thriller / espionage genre overall, with a couple of themes borrowed from financial thrillers thrown in for good measure, a healthy dose of the stuff that makes political thrillers great, and a serial killer novel or two to keep things interesting. Why such a mixing of themes? Because life isn't monolithic and book genres are arbitrary. There's murder in spy novels and there's espionage in political conspiracy thrillers. Overall, the series are designed to keep you turning the pages. I've done my best to make sure there's never a dull moment, and I think the characters' chutzpah and attitude makes for good entertainment. But I'm probably a little biased. And in Peter's case, his sexuality is obviously a strong part of his character, as is his distinctive personality. Q - So, why should readers give these books a try? A - Because the Sam Jameson and Peter Kittredge books are fast, fun thrill-rides that never let up! Ultimately, readers who enjoy a blazing pace, characters with depth and distinctive voices, and a plot that twists and turns all the way to the end will enjoy this series.
