In development to be a major TV series on Peacock, adapted by Tina Fey and Lang Fisher AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From New York Times bestseller Elle Cosimano, comes Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun—the hilarious and heart-pounding next installment in the beloved Finlay Donovan series. "Fresh, heartfelt and witty, Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun is a twisty page-turner, and its relatable heroine Finlay Donovan is irresistible!" —Janet Evanovich “I love Finlay Donovan so much I would 100% hide a dead body for her.”—Jessie Q. Sutanto Dating. Diapers. And dodging bullets. Who said single moms can't have fun? Finlay Donovan has been in messes before—after all, she's an author and single mom who’s a pro at getting out bloodstains for rather unexpected reasons—but none quite like this. She and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero accidentally destroyed a luxury car that they “borrowed” in the process of saving Finlay’s ex-husband. The Russian mob handled her debt, but that means Finlay now owes them. Still running the show from behind bars, mob boss Feliks has a task for Finlay: find a contract killer before the cops do. Problem is, the killer might be an officer. Luckily, hot cop Nick has started up a citizen’s police academy, so Finlay has the perfect cover-up to sleuth out the real criminal as she does some “research” for her new novel. Nick is more than happy to get close to Finlay, but he’s also getting dangerously close to the truth. As Finlay and Vero dodge potential spies and juggle the daily trials of parenting, they can only hope they find the crooked cop before Feliks catches up with them—not to mention revealing Vero’s mysterious past, Nick’s growing interest in Finlay, and the threat of her looming book deadline.

Elle CosimanoIn development to be a major TV series on Peacock, adapted by Tina Fey and Lang Fisher A USA TODAY BESTSELLER! From New York Times bestseller Elle Cosimano comes Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice—the hilarious and heartfelt next installment in the beloved Finlay Donovan series. "Finlay Donovan is irresistible!"—Janet Evanovich “This series is magical!”—Christina Lauren “The perfect blend of mystery and rom-com.”—Ali Hazelwood What’s in the cards next for Finlay Donovan? Finlay 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 since 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 luxury car, it won’t be all fun and games. When Finlay’s ex-husband Steven and her mother insist on tagging along, 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. When Finlay and Vero sneak into the loan shark’s suite to search for clues, they find more than they bargained. If Finlay can juggle a jealous ex-husband, two precocious kids, her mother’s marital issues, and 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?
