Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Takedown Twenty features Stephanie Plum, a New Jersey bounty hunter with her sights set on catching a notorious mob boss. If she doesn't take him down, he may take her out.

Stephanie knows better than to mess with family, but when powerful mobster Salvatore 'Uncle Sunny' Sunucchi goes on the lam in Trenton, it's up to her to find him. Uncle Sunny is charged with murder for running over a guy (twice), and nobody wants to turn him inβ€”not his poker buddies, not his bimbo girlfriend, nor his two right-hand men, Shorty and Moe.

Even Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, has skin in the game because, as just Stephanie's luck would have it, this godfather is his actual godfather. While Morelli understands that the law is the law, his old-world grandmother, Bella, is doing everything she can to throw Stephanie off the trail.

It's not just Uncle Sunny giving Stephanie the run-around. Security specialist Ranger needs her help to solve the bizarre death of a top client's mother, a woman who happened to play bingo with Stephanie's Grandma Mazur.

Before Stephanie knows it, she's working side-by-side with Ranger and Grandma at the senior centre, trying to catch a killer on the looseβ€”and the bingo balls are not rolling in their favour.

With bullet holes in her car, henchmen on her tail, and a giraffe named Kevin running wild in the streets of Trenton, Stephanie will have to up her game for the ultimate takedown.
