Fortune and Glory
When Stephanie’s beloved Grandma Mazur’s new husband died on their wedding night, the only thing he left her was a beat-up old easy chair…and the keys to a life-changing fortune.
But as Stephanie and Grandma Mazur search for Jimmy Rosolli’s treasure, they discover that they’re not the only ones on the hunt. Two dangerous enemies from the past stand in their way—along with a new adversary who’s even more formidable: Gabriela Rose, a dark-eyed beauty from Little Havana with a taste for designer clothes. She’s also a soldier of fortune, a gourmet cook, an expert in firearms and mixed martial arts—and someone who’s about to give Stephanie a real run for her money.
Stephanie may be in over her head, but she’s got two things that Gabriela doesn’t: an unbreakable bond with her family and a stubborn streak that will never let her quit.
She’ll need both to survive because this search for “fortune and glory” will turn into a desperate race against time with more on the line than ever before. Because even as she searches for the treasure and fights to protect her Grandma Mazur, her own deepest feelings will be tested—as Stephanie could finally be forced to choose between Joe Morelli and Ranger.
The series
In a world of cold, calculating crime fiction, the Stephanie Plum series flips the script—with high heels, hot tempers, and hilariously high-stakes mayhem. Set in the unglamorous heart of Trenton, New Jersey, this long-running series follows an underqualified bounty hunter with a knack for catching criminals—and blowing up cars along the way.
Read full series description
What starts as a desperate gig to make rent quickly spirals into a career filled with bad guys who won’t stay caught, friends who can’t stay out of trouble, and love interests who are anything but simple. But this isn’t just a series about solving cases. It’s about surviving life one ridiculous mishap at a time. Each book dives into the absurdity of crime-solving with a heroine who’s as relatable as she is chaotic. Whether she’s wrangling skips, dodging mobsters, or getting unsolicited advice from Grandma Mazur (armed and ready), every chapter walks the line between laugh-out-loud humor and genuine suspense.
Blending mystery, romance, and slapstick, the tone stays light even when the stakes climb high. The atmosphere is fast-paced and unpredictable—like a sitcom crashed into a crime scene. Side characters like the fierce and fabulous Lula or the emotionally elusive Ranger help build a world that feels lived-in, weirdly lovable, and impossible to leave behind.
With each new entry, the series reinvents itself just enough to keep readers guessing, while staying true to its core: one woman, a mountain of problems, and the undeniable pull of a life she never meant to choose. Equal parts caper and comedy, Stephanie Plum is the perfect series for readers who like their mysteries spiked with laughter and just the right amount of danger.
