NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From Janet Evanovich, #1 bestselling
author of the Stephanie Plum novels, and Lee Goldberg, bestselling
author and television writer for Monk, comes the first adventure in an
electrifying series featuring an FBI agent who always gets her man, and
a fearless con artist who lives for the chase.
FBI Special Agent Kate O'Hare is known for her fierce dedication and
discipline on the job, chasing down the world's most wanted criminals
and putting them behind bars. Her boss thinks she is tenacious and
ambitious; her friends think she is tough, stubborn, and maybe even a
bit obsessed. And while Kate has made quite a name for herself for the
past five years the only name she's cared about is Nicolas Fox--an
international crook she wants in more ways than one.
Audacious, handsome, and dangerously charming, Nicolas Fox is a natural
con man, notorious for running elaborate scams on very high-profile
people. At first he did it for the money. Now he does it for the thrill.
He knows that the FBI has been hot on his trail--particularly Kate
O'Hare, who has been watching his every move. For Nick, there's no
greater rush than being pursued by a beautiful woman . . . even one who
aims to lock him up. But just when it seems that Nicolas Fox has been
captured for good, he pulls off his greatest con of all: He convinces
the FBI to offer him a job, working side by side with Special Agent Kate
O'Hare.
Problem is, teaming up to stop a corrupt investment banker who's hiding
on a private island in Indonesia is going to test O'Hare's patience and
Fox's skill. Not to mention the skills of their ragtag team made up of
flamboyant actors, wanted wheelmen, and Kate's dad. High-speed chases,
pirates, and Toblerone bars are all in a day's work . . . if O'Hare and
Fox don't kill each other first.
