49. Top Secret Twenty-One, by Janet Evanovich
Stephanie Plum, the world's most incompetent bounty hunter, has to track down a used car salesman (and human trafficker) who skipped bond and may now be murdering his friends and employees. She also has to help track down a Russian terrorist who had someone smuggle polonium into Rangeman. There's also a subplot involving Chihuahuas. It's pretty funny overall. There's also a short story at the end of the novel about an FBI agent who is trying to track down a con man who she is attracted to.
