It is the first of four "Between the Numbers" volumes in Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, [1] featuring the adventures of the eponymous bounty hunter in Trenton, New Jersey. Unlike the primary novels of the series, its title is based on a holiday rather than a number. It is followed by the novellas Plum Lovin' and Plum Lucky , and the full-length novel Plum Spooky .

The novella introduces the character of Diesel, [2] who appears in all the subsequent "Between the Numbers" novels and was subsequently made the protagonist of Evanovich's Wicked spin-off series.
