Publisher's summary

Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg, New York Times best-selling 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.

A Fun Ride

The tale is way over the top and the two leads would have been toast so many times, but it's such a fun joy ride who cares. I love Scott Brick's narration. Listen to him read Carl Hiaasen's books as well. He's always a treat. Makes the most out of every sentence he reads.

Great book didnt want to stop listening

Great book and I didn't want to stop listening. Cant wait for the next one in the series.

always a great read.

love this series and this one did not dissapoint. characters are entertaining with an engaging plot

Fun to read

I really enjoyed this book. I've missed the fun and addicting banter of Janet's characters. These are good books.

Good characters, fun plot

Yet another great read by Evanovich. Delighted with another exciting chain of events including Nick Fox and Kate O'Hare. But what satisfies me the most about this series, is the attention Evanovich applies to all characters. Even those that are in the book only a handful of pages, I feel like I can easily picture them and their quirks.

And of course the "bad guy" they are trying to take down is easy to dislike.
Looking forward to reading more from this series.

Ready for book 3...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

OMG! this book was awesome! It totally pumped me up all day and made me want to become an fbi agent! :) SO READY FOR THE NEXT ONE!!

Kate O'Hare, Nick Fox and Scott Brick!

Humor, chemistry, a great con against a really unlikable villain and characters I adore...oh and the best narrator, all ingredients for a fun, fun, listen!

So Much Fun!

I listen to Janet Evananovich while painting my renovation projects. The characters in this series are great fun and that helps me to work longer and get finished sooner!
THANKS JANET.

Entertaining

as in most novels, embellishments on real world references get a little past the believable, not a problem here though, it doesn't take away from the story.

Fun Read

Art heist and powerful politicians. Just another day for Kate O'Hara and Nick Fox. As always Evanovich does a great job giving us a fun, suspenseful read. I always love her books. And Scott Brick on Audible is always superb. Highly recommend.
