Description
This #1 New York Times bestseller from Janet Evanovich moves into the fast lane with a thrilling, high-octane misadventure with high stakes, hot nights, cold-blooded murder, sunken treasure, a woman with a chassis built for speed, and one very good, very sexy NASCAR driver who’s along for the ride.
Alexandra Barnaby got the brains in her family. The little gray cells certainly bypassed Barney’s younger brother, Wild Bill. Truth is, Alex has been bailing her brother out of trouble since they were kids. Not that Bill's a bad sort. More that he acts first and thinks later. Unfortunately, this time around, Wild Bill will be Dead Bill if Alex doesn't find him in time.
Alex blasts through the bars of South Beach and points her search to Key West and Cuba, laying waste to Miami hit men, dodging Palmetto bugs big enough to eat her alive, and putting the pedal to the metal with NASCAR driver Sam Hooker. Somebody’s stolen his boat and the trail leads to—you guessed it—Wild Bill. Since Will Bill is missing, Hooker decides to follow Barney and see if she can lead him to his boat.
The race to the finish is hot and hard, taking Alex and Hooker into international waters, exposing a plot to grab Cuban gold and a sinister relic of the Cuban missile crises. Creative cussing and sexual innuendo included.

5By momjenbWhat fun! Had a real adventure. Great characters. Looking forward to the next book. Thanks!Good read
4By JPMJPM1Plum entertaining but not a replacement for Jersey or Stefanie. It Florida and Barnaby instead. Good writing but less intriguing story.Fantastic read
5By Rand attMost entertaining book I’ve ever read. Metro Girl has it all action,intrigue and mystery. The banter between characters is hilarious. The plot is well constructed and is pedal to the metal start to finish. I’m hooked can’t wait to read the next book. To say Janet Evanovich has a way with words is an colossal underestimation.Metro Girl
5By Barry RogerAs good as the Plum books. Wish she would write more about Barney & Hooker!Always fun, never disappoints
5By R fish-lakeJanet Evanovich is one highly entertaining author. Every book is a humor filled opportunity to make new friends. The read is easy and fun, and at the end, it feels you're having to say goodbye for a time much too soon. Great work!Great Book!
4By Laci R.I absolutely adore Janet Evanovich, I have read plenty of her books including the entire Stephanie Plum series and she does a great job keeping me entertained and wanting to come back for more every time.Outstanding
5By Jassy1This was a very easy and quick read. It was the first book of this author I read. I found it so hilarious I was laughing out loud at the characters and people around me were looking at me puzzled as to what I found so funny. I have finally finished reading all Ms Evanovich's novel and I'm waiting patiently for the next one. Her Stephanie Plum series are wonderful.Metro girl
5By ShankirjAnother page turner! Awesome! I love how Janet can take a romance and add all the things that make a story exceptional. Intrigue, fast cars, excellent men and a fast paced story. I enjoyed this very much!
