Synopsis: The hardcover edition of Wicked Business contains Plum & Wicked stickers inside! Whether its monkey business, funny business, or getting down to business, Janet Evanovichs Lizzy and Diesel series proves that theres no business like Wicked Business. Lizzy Tuckers once normal life as a pastry chef in Salem, Massachusetts, turns upside down as she battles both sinister forces and an inconvenient attraction to her unnaturally talented but off-limits partner, Diesel. When Harvard University English professor and dyed-in-the-wool romantic Gilbert Reedy is mysteriously murdered and thrown off his fourth-floor balcony, Lizzy and Diesel take up his twenty-year quest for the Luxuria Stone, an ancient relic believed by some to be infused with the power of lust. Following clues contained in a cryptic nineteenth-century book of sonnets, Lizzy and Diesel tear through Boston catacombs, government buildings, and multimillion-dollar residences. On their way theyll leave behind a trail of robbed graves, public disturbances, and general mayhem. Diesels black sheep cousin, Gerwulf Grimoire, also wants the Stone. His motives are far from pure, and what he plans on doing with the treasure, no one knows . . . but Lizzy Tucker fears shes in his crosshairs. Never far and always watching, Grimoire has a growing, vested interest in the cupcake-baker turned finder-of-lost-things. As does another dangerous and dark opponent in the hunt-a devotee of lawlessness and chaos, known only as Anarchy. Treasures will be sought, and the power of lust will be unmistakable as Lizzy and Diesel attempt to stay ahead of Anarchy, Grimoire, and his medieval minion, Hatchet, in this ancient game of twisted riddles and high-stakes hide-and-seek.
