Monday mornings aren’t supposed to be fun, but they should be predictable. However, on this particular Monday, sleuth Stephanie Plum knows that something is amiss when she turns up for work at Vinnie's Bail Bonds to find that long-time, ever-reliable office manager Connie Rosolli hasn't shown up.
Stephanie's worst fears are confirmed when she gets a call from Connie’s abductor.
He says he will only release her in exchange for a mysterious coin that a recently murdered man left as collateral for his bail.
Unfortunately, this coin, which should be in the office — just like Connie — is nowhere to be found.
The quest to discover the coin, learn its value, and save Connie will require the help of Stephanie's grandma Mazur, her best pal Lula, her boyfriend Morelli, and hunky security expert Ranger.
As they get closer to unravelling the reasons behind Connie’s kidnapping, Connie's captor grows more threatening, and soon Stephanie has no choice but to throw caution to the wind, follow her instincts, and go rogue.
She is more shocked by the results than anyone.
