The job : a Fox and O'Hare novel / Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg.
FBI Agent Kate O' Hare is a force of nature, and she's lived for one thing and one thing only: to put the slippery conman known as Nicolas Fox behind bars. Nick is a fed's worst nightmare: exceptionally talented in his line of work, known the world over for being able to pull off some of the most dangerous, high-profile cons. In a cruel twist of fate, Kate's bosses at the FBI force her to covertly partner up with Nick to take down big league crime.

An FBI agent leads a motley crew that includes her father into battle against a drug lord no one's ever seen.Kate O'Hare (The Chase, 2014, etc.) will do pretty much anything for the job, including donning a pushup bra to foil a couple of well-dressed bank robbers in Tarzana. So she doesn't blink when Nick Fox, nonpareil con man-turned-informer, suggests going after Lester Menendez, a Colombian thug who dropped out of sightâliterallyâafter killing the team of surgeons who gave him a full-body makeover. No one still alive has ever seen Menendez's new look, so Fox and O'Hare can't go after him. Instead, they lure Menendez to them with a tale of a map that locates the wreck of the galleon Santa Isabel, lying on the ocean floor with tons of gold. Of course, it takes a village to create an illusion. They need carpenter Tom Underhill, designer of hyperupscale treehouses, to build a realistic treasure-hunting ship and big-rig aficionado Wilma "Willie" Owens to steer it. S ince Willie doesn't look like any sailor Menendez is likely to have seen, talk show host Boyd Capwell plays Capt. Bridger, alleged pilot of the Seaquest, while Willie works her magic hidden below decks. Kate and Nick also recruit computer graphics whiz Rodney Smoot to design the photorealistic CGI environment that will convince Menendez he's looking at a billion dollars' worth of bullion. Last but not least, Jake O'Hare comes on board, if nothing else to make sure that no one messes with his little girl. Evanovich and Goldberg offer another wild ride. Even if you can't always tell the good guys from the bad guys, there's no doubt who'll come out on top when the Fox is in the hen house.

Never mind that FBI Agent Kate O'Hare despises con man Nicolas Fox. To catch some really big fish, her bosses have paired her with Foxâfor the third time. The previous series titles, The Heist and The Chase, debuted high on major best sellers lists, and Pros and Cons, the ebook prequel to the series, has sold nearly 150,000 copies. This title will be introduced by the release of a new e-short (10/7/14) featuring Kate's father, a popular character in the series.

Evanovich ("Stephanie Plum" series) and Goldberg(Monk novelizations) team up for their third rollicking adventure (after The Heist and The Chase) with FBI agent Kate O'Hare and con artist Nicolas Fox, who now works with the agency and O'Hare to take down high-profile criminals. This time the stakes are personal to Fox since someone is committing art thefts, and video feeds taken at the crime scenes seem to implicate him. Fox claims his innocence, and O'Hare must put aside her feelings of doubt if she's to capture the true thief. Uncovering the truth will lead them both to an even greater threat that could end their working togetherâpermanently. Verdict This suspense series continues to mix the humor from Evanovich and Goldberg's books with the intricate cons seen in the best episodes of Mission: Impossible. The banter and thrills are nonstop, and readers will be anxious to see what happens next.âJeff Ayers, Seattle P.L. (c) Copyright 2014.
