BOOK ONE Written by Janet and Alex Evanovich, and illustrated by Jolle Jones (Madame Xanado), Troublemaker is the third adventure of Alex Barnaby and Sam Hooker following hit novels Metro Girl and Motor Mouth. BARNABY and Hooker are back together and fighting crime the only way they know how — by leaving a trail of chaos, panic, and disorder. Alex, an auto mechanic and spotter for racecar driver Sam Hooker, is drawn to trouble like a giant palmetto bug to a day-old taco. Unfortunately she's also drawn to Hooker ín the same fashion. There's no steering clear of trouble or Hooker when friends Felicia and Rosa need help. Rosa has gone missing, and in order to find her, Barnaby and Hooker will have to go deep into the underbelly of Miami and South Florida, surviving petro voodoo, explosions, gift-wrapped body parts, a high-speed swamp chase, and Hooker's mom.
