A woman claims to be Ranger's wife — and she's taken his daughter. Ranger, who never talks about his past, asks Stephanie for help finding them. Twelve Sharp is the twelfth Stephanie Plum novel — the most insight into Ranger's backstory in the series; the personal stakes for the normally enigmatic character are unusually high.
