'My name is Stephanie Plum and I've got a strange man in my kitchen. He appeared out of nowhere. One minute I was sipping coffee, mentally planning out my day. And then the next minute . . . poof, there he was.' It's five days before Christmas, and Stephanie Plum's problems are mounting by the minute. The season of goodwill is not so much passing her by as whizzing past her ears. In her role as bounty hunter, she's been assigned to bring in an elusive seventy-four-year-old toymaker called Sandy Claws. Oh, and that strange man in her apartment just won't leave. Sure, this kind of thing has happened to Stephanie before . . .but fast talking, stun guns and pepper spray won't remove this intruder. Visions of Sugar Plums takes Stephanie Plum on a Christmas adventure and introduces a new character that readers will adore. He's as mysterious as Ranger, sexy as Morelli, and . . .well, we won't say any more!
