About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg, bestselling authors of The Heist, return in this action-packed, exciting adventure featuring master con artist Nicolas Fox and die-hard FBI agent Kate O’Hare. And this time around, things go from hot to nuclear when government secrets are on the line.
Internationally renowned thief and con artist Nicolas Fox is famous for running elaborate and daring scams. His greatest con of all: convincing the FBI to team him up with the only person who has ever caught him, and the only woman to ever capture his attention, Special Agent Kate O’Hare. Together they’ll go undercover to swindle and catch the world’s most wanted—and untouchable—criminals.
Their newest target is Carter Grove, a former White House chief of staff and the ruthless leader of a private security agency. Grove has stolen a rare Chinese artifact from the Smithsonian, a crime that will torpedo U.S. relations with China if it ever becomes public. Nick and Kate must work under the radar—and against the clock—to devise a plan to steal the piece back. Confronting Grove’s elite assassins, Nick and Kate rely on the skills of their ragtag crew, including a flamboyant actor, a Geek Squad techie, and a band of AARP-card-carrying mercenaries led by none other than Kate’s dad.
A daring heist and a deadly chase lead Nick and Kate from Washington, D.C., to Shanghai, from the highlands of Scotland to the underbelly of Montreal. But it’ll take more than death threats, trained henchmen, sleepless nights, and the fate of a dynasty’s priceless heirloom to outsmart Fox and O’Hare.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg's The Job.

I absolutely LOVE these books!! The characters in these books are fun and rich and you get to laughing at their antics while at the same time always be wondering what will happen to them next. Kate is so straight laced, miss do no wrong and Nick is the soo total opposite, laid back and so sure of everything. They work great off each other. I love the way Kate's Dad gets involved, kinda reminds me of a certain Grandma from another Series I can't get enough of. I would love to see Kate finally give in to Nick and quit the FBI to start a life of thievery together, using their different life styles, teachings, backgrounds, friends, foes and secerts to steal things there way, give back to the rightful people at a recovery fee of course, so they can fund future heists and so Kate doesn't have to totally give up on her right over wrong beliefs. LOL Anyway, great start to a new series, hopefully it can last as long as some others.
