What this book is about
Stephanie agrees to meet her loathsome ex-husband Dickie Orr, who then disappears. She is immediately the prime suspect. Both Joe Morelli (as a cop) and Ranger (as himself) are involved in the investigation — from different sides. Lean Mean Thirteen is the thirteenth Stephanie Plum novel — the triangle dynamic is at its most complicated.
