Publisher's summary

From Janet Evanovich, number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Stephanie Plum novels, and Lee Goldberg, best-selling author and television writer for Monk, comes the first adventure in an electrifying new 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.

Best story

So refreshing to hear an adventure story without coarseness or explicit sex! Kept me listening and interested throughout. A true 5 star listen.

Instant favorite

I am so enjoying Kate and Nick. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Entertaining

Do you like a completely fun, funny, outlandish getaway? This is it. A bit of romance and intrigue round this out. And reader Scott Brick delivers as always. This is my second time listening to the series (after I read the books) and I still love it.

My first and definitely not my last!

I picked this up on sale and I am glad I did! Great characters, great story and fabulous story teller make me want to pick up the next in line!

wonderful. keeps you at the end of your seats.

I recommend this book because it is fast paced , exciting, hints of passion and then some James Bond tape scenes 4 entertainment.

Great book

I xouodnt stop listening. great book with engaging characters. Love this author and the reader had a good voice.

Move over Stephanie Plum! You've got competition!

If you could sum up The Heist in three words, what would they be?

Fast moving, quick thinking characters, and a good listen!

What other book might you compare The Heist to and why?

Some might say a typical Janet Evanovich style. But I have to say, I may like Kate better than Stephanie!!

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

He's just good. Love the inflection he gives to some dialoge

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

While it was all very good, I think the ending, like a light turning on

Any additional comments?

Definitely worth the time it takes to listen. Will be listening to the whole series.

Spoiled

After listening to all the Plumb series I miss the great hummer. Good but not that good.

Fun and Entertaining.

I enjoyed the story, the humor and excitement. I recommend to anyone. No brutality just fun and witty.
