About the authors:
\nJanet Evanovich has written a staggering forty-five&nb sp\;New York Times \;bestsellers over the last twenty-eight y ears. In addition to her #1 \;New York Times \;bestsellin g Stephanie Plum novels and many other popular books\, Janet is the author of \;The Recovery Agent\, an exciting new series that will c ontinue in 2025 with \;The King&rsquo\;s Ransom.
\nIn The King's Ransom\, Gabriela Ros e\, recovery agent extraordinaire\, can find just about anything. Too bad she can&rsquo\;t seem to lose her gorgeous-but-infuriating ex-husband Rafe r Jones. And now he needs her help. His cousin\, Harley\, is in trouble&he llip\;big trouble.
\nAs the president of a too-big-to-fail bank\, he invested an astronomical amount of money in insuring some of the world&rs quo\;s most priceless artifacts at the urging of his board. It seemed like a low-risk\, high-reward business move\, so he jumped in with both feet. But recently\, these insured pieces started going missing and worse\, ther e&rsquo\;s no paper trail of Harley being directed to make these risky inv estments. Unless the artwork can be recovered soon\, it looks like Harley is going to be heading to jail as the fall guy for an ingenious crime.
\nGabriela knows what she must do: travel around the world with Rafer t o find the missing works of art\, keep Harley out of jail\, and save both his skin and his bank. Along the way\, she&rsquo\;ll encounter corruption\ , threats\, murder\, mysterious dark forces behind a global conspiracy to destroy the world&rsquo\;s wealth\, and a nefarious villain who will stop at nothing to bring the world to the brink of ruin.

Alex Evanovich lives in North Carolina with her family. Her favor
ite Hobbit is Samwise Gamgee. The Sorting Hat says she&rsquo\;s a Ravencla
w. Her favorite Darth Maul is the one from \;Star Wars: The Clone Wars
\;with giant robot legs. And she&rsquo\;s never rolled a nat 20.
In Keeper Chance and the Dubious Doppelganger<
/em>\, Keeper Chance hasn&rsquo\;t been an E.V.I.L. villain for long\, but
there are two things he knows:
One: Nothing is ever as it seems. That goes double when you&rsquo\;re up against a doppelgä\;nger. It&rs quo\;s going to take patience and perseverance for Keeper and villainous t eammates Toby and Y to figure out who is who and why someone who can be an yone would want to kidnap a senior member of E.V.I.L.
\nTwo: It help s to have time on your side. But the doppelgä\;nger seems to have recr uited flunkies who can bend time to their will. Even worse\, there&rsquo\; s Toby&rsquo\;s brother\, who&rsquo\;s no slouch when it comes to being a parental snitch.
\nBefore the clock runs out (or back)\, it&rsquo\;l l take a showdown with the time benders&mdash\;not to mention some serious ly vicious cats&mdash\;to unmask the imposter and end the mayhem. Someone is going to have to step up and save the day. But will it be an E.V.I.L. h ero&hellip\;or a H.E.R.O.?
