TO THE NINES

In this high-energy story of abduction and murder in two cities--Trenton, New Jersey, and Las Vegas--Stephanie Plum becomes the murderer's prime target, wooed with flowers and photos that reveal how a web master stalks her through the electronic kingdom of cyberspace. The novel has Plum's usual sidekicks--the larger-than-life Lula; the alcohol-saturated Connie, assistant to Stephanie's boss, Vinnie; and Tank, Stephanie’s bodyguard. Stephanie is relentless in her pursuit of the missing Samuel Singh, whom she has been hired to track down. Occasionally, King groups and accents words and phrases in a way that sets up a singsong rhythm. M.D.H. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 03/JAN 04]
