Finlay Donovan lever et dødlækkert liv … Men det er måske lidt kaotisk. Hun er enlig mor til to, og hun arbejder hårdt på sin forfatterkarriere. Indimellem er det lidt svært at leve op til alle forventningerne: I morges måtte hun sende sin fireårige datter i børnehave med sit hår tapet fast til hovedet efter et uheldigt møde med en saks, og Finlays nye bog er langt fra færdig.  Da hun ved et frokostmøde præsenterer sin spændingsroman for sin agent, bliver hun overhørt af en gæst i restauranten, der antager, at Finlay er lejemorder. Straks bliver Finlay hyret til at skaffe en besværlig ægtemand af vejen, og før hun ved af det, har hun fået sig en morderisk sidegesjæft.Men virkelighedens kriminalitet er noget anderledes end den, Finlay beskriver i sine bøger, og inden længe kommer Finlay selv på kant med loven, da hun bliver viklet ind i en mordefterforskning.Pressen skriver:“En sand fornøjelse.”—PEOPLE“Finlay Donovan er så elskelig, at det er nemt at overgive sig …”—New York Times Book Review“Sjov, klog og overraskende.

From New York Times bestseller Elle Cosimano comes Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice-the fiercely anticipated next installment in the beloved Finlay Donovan series."Finlay Donovan is irresistible!"-Janet EvanovichFinlay Donovan and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero are in sore need of a girls' weekend away. They plan a trip to Atlantic City, but odds are-seeing as it's actually a cover story to negotiate a deal with a dangerous loan shark, save Vero's childhood crush Javi, and hunt down a stolen car-it won't be all fun and games. When Finlay's ex-husband Steven and her mother insist on tagging along too, Finlay and Vero suddenly have a few too many meddlesome passengers along for the ride.Within hours of arriving in their seedy casino hotel, it becomes clear their rescue mission is going to be a bust. Javi's kidnapper, Marco, refuses to negotiate, demanding payment in full in exchange for Javi's life. But that's not all-he insists on knowing the whereabouts of his missing nephew, Ike, who mysteriously disappeared. Unable to confess what really happened to Ike, Finlay and Vero are forced to come up with a new plan: sleuth out the location of Javi and the Aston Martin, then steal them both back.But when they sneak into the loan shark's suite to search for clues, they find more than they bargained for-Marco's already dead. They don't have a clue who murdered him, only that they themselves have a very convincing motive. Then four members of the police department unexpectedly show up in town, also looking for Ike-and after Finlay's night with hot cop Nick at the police academy, he's a little too eager to keep her close to his side.If Finlay can juggle a jealous ex-husband, two precocious kids, her mother's marital issues, a decomposing loan shark, and find Vero's missing boyfriend, she might get out of Atlantic City in one piece. But will she fold under the pressure and come clean about the things she's done, or be forced to double down?

"A funny and smart, twisty and surprising series."--Megan Miranda Finlay Donovan is--once again--struggling to finish her next novel and keep her head above water as a single mother of two. On the bright side, she has her live-in nanny and confidant Vero to rely on, and the only dead body she's dealt with lately is that of her daughter's pet goldfish. On the not-so-bright side, someone out there wants her ex-husband, Steven, out of the picture. Permanently. Whatever else Steven may be, he's a good father, but saving him will send her down a rabbit hole of hit-women disguised as soccer moms, and a little bit more involvement with the Russian mob than she'd like. Meanwhile, Vero's keeping secrets, and Detective Nick Anthony seems determined to get back into her life. He may be a hot cop, but Finlay's first priority is preventing her family from sleeping with the fishes... and if that means bending a few laws then so be it. With her next book's deadline looming and an ex-husband to keep alive, Finlay is quickly coming to the end of her rope. She can only hope there isn't a noose at the end of it."--
