If anyone had asked me between the years 2000-2006 what my favourite author was, I would’ve said Janet Evanovich with absolutely zero hesitation. Fond nostalgia mixed with disappointment. A plan so sinister that only a megalomaniac could think it up, and only the unlikely duo of the irrepressibly charming Emerson Knight and the tenacious Riley Moon could hope to stop it… Through the streets of Washington D.C., and down into the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in New York City, an evil plan is exposed. At least, Riley Moon thinks it’s her dream job until she is given her first assignment: babysitting Emerson Knight.Īn inquiry about missing Knight money leads to a missing man, missing gold and a life-and-death race across the country. Her assertive (some people might say aggressive) spitfire attitude has helped land a dream job at Blane-Grunwald bank. Riley Moon has just graduated from Harvard. Good thing he’s also brilliant, rich and (some people might say) handsome. They couldn’t be less compatible, but they make a great team…Įmerson Knight is introverted, eccentric, and has little-to-no sense of social etiquette. Praise for Wicked Charms "Delivers what Evanovich's readers have come to expect: laughs, oddball situations, quirky supporting characters, and a dash or two of romance." - Examiner.Copy courtesy of Hachette AUS via NetGalleyīlurb : Lizzy and Diesel are going to have to do everything they can to keep their heads above water and hope they're living a charmed life. Wicked Charms is a swashbuckling adventure full of raiders, monkeys, minions, and mayhem. It's hard to say how far he's willing to go to gain either one.
One of those people may even be Wulf, Diesel's deceptively charming and enigmatic cousin.
People who have dedicated their entire lives to finding it are willing to commit murder or make a deal with the devil just to hold the fortune in their hands. Greed is eternal and insatiable, and Lizzy and Diesel aren't the only ones searching for the lost pirate's chest. or at least getting them from Salem Harbor to Maine. And this hunt is going to require a genuine treasure map and a ship worthy of sailing the seven seas. While Lizzy would just like to live a quiet, semi-normal life, Diesel is all about the hunt. A vast collection of gold and silver coins and precious gems, the bounty also contains the Stone of Avarice-the very item reluctant treasure seeker Lizzy Tucker and her partner, Diesel, have been enlisted to find. Before he was murdered and mummified nearly a century ago, notorious bootlegger Collier "Peg Leg" Dazzle discovered and re-hid a famous pirate's treasure somewhere along the coast of New England. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Lizzy and Diesel are back in an all-new wicked adventure from Janet Evanovich and Emmy Award-winning co-author Phoef Sutton.
