Synopsis

A hilarious new series from the bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum novels.

It's December in Jersey and Stephanie Plum has bigger problems than the usual thugs, thieves and hoodlums. There's someone in her apartment who just won't leave. Sure, this sort of thing has happened to Stephanie before, but in the past she's been able to talk her way out of trouble. This time, however, fast talking, stun guns and pepper spray won't remove the intruder...

Visions of Sugar Plums takes Stephanie Plum on a Christmas holiday adventure and introduces a new character that readers will adore. He's as mysterious as Ranger, as sexy as Morelli, and ... well, we won't say any more.

From the Back Cover:

The World of Plum Has Never Been Merrier!

It's five days before Christmas and things are not looking merry for Fugitive Apprehension Agent Stephanie Plum. She hasn't got a tree. She hasn't bought any presents. The malls are jam-packed with staggering shoppers. There's not a twinkle light anywhere to be seen in her apartment-and there's a strange man in her kitchen.

Sure, this has happened to Stephanie Plum before. But this guy is different. He's mysterious, sexy-and has his own agenda. His name is Diesel, and he's on a mission. The question is, what does he want with her? Can he help her find a little old toy maker who has skipped out on his bail right before Christmas? Can he survive the Plum family holiday dinner? Can he get Stephanie a tree that doesn't look like it was grown next to a nuclear power plant? These questions and more are keeping Stephanie awake at night. Not to mention the fact that she needs to find a bunch of nasty elves, her sister Valerie has a Christmas "surprise" for the Plums, her niece Mary Alice doesn't believe in Santa anymore, and Grandma Mazur has a new stud muffin. So bring out the plastic reindeer, strap on your jingle bells, and get ready to celebrate the holidays-Jersey style.
