Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • He’s a charming con man and she’s a dedicated FBI agent, and they’re about to drive each other crazy . . . again!
 
The FBI had one demand when they secretly teamed up Special Agent Kate O’Hare with charming con man Nicolas Fox—bring down the world’s most-wanted and untouchable felons. This time it’s the brutal leader of a global drug-smuggling empire. The FBI doesn’t know what their target looks like, where he is, or how to find him, but Nick Fox has a few tricks up his sleeve to roust this particular Knipschildt chocolate–loving drug lord.
 
From the streets of Nashville to the back alleys of Lisbon, from the rooftops of Istanbul to the middle of the Thames, Nick and Kate chase their mark. When they find themselves pitted against a psychopathic bodyguard and a Portuguese enforcer who gets advice from a pickled head, they decide it’s time to enlist some special talent—talent like a machete-wielding Somali pirate, a self-absorbed actor, an Oscar-winning special effects artist, and Kate’s father Jake, a retired Special Forces operative. Together they could help make this Fox and O’Hare’s biggest win yet . . . if they survive.

About Janet Evanovich

Janet Evanovich was born Janet Schneider on April 22, 1943 in South River, New Jersey. She routinely appears on both the New York Times and Amazon Bestseller Lists and has a devoted following of readers. Using the pen name Steffie Hall, she published her several short romance novels. She later struck gold with her popular ‘Stephanie Plum’ Series – the twenty second book in the series, (‘Tricky Twenty Two’) will be released this November. After the third book in the series, Evanovich started running contests for her readers to suggest names for the next book. Each Plum book since that time has been named by a fan. The heroine, Stephanie Plum becomes a bounty hunter in her hometown of Trenton, New Jersey by bribing her pervert cousin Vinnie for a job after she is laid off as a lingerie buyer. Although there is plenty of romance and comedy in the books, they are primarily modern mysteries with an outrageous cast of secondary characters that add down to earth humor.

Evanovich became the first in her family to attend college. After graduating from South River High School she went on to attend Douglass College, part of Rutgers University. Janet Evanovich married her husband Pete in 1964. When she had her son, Peter and daughter, Alexandra, she decided to become a stay at home mom to raise her children. She first began writing in her thirties and had trouble publishing her first three manuscripts. Someone suggested she try writing romance novels. She had written two romance novels and still had not found anyone to publish them and became discouraged. She stopped writing and instead signed on with a temporary employment agency. After she worked there for several months, she received an offer to publish her second romance manuscript. She wrote and published multiple short romance novels before creating the world of Stephanie Plum. She has also written several other series, including the ‘Wicked’ Series, the ‘Alex Barnaby’ series, and the newer ‘Fox and O’Hare series featuring an FBI Agent and her partner, a notorious thief on the FBI’s Most Wanted List.

Goodreads review by Heidi on September 05, 2021

3.5 This series is just plain fun— Nick Fox may not be Cary Grant, and our FBI heroine is no Grace Kelly, but there’s crime, guns, stolen works of art, endless daring escapes and just enough chemistry between our co-stars to keep me happy!! What can I say? I’m a sucker for a suave and daring anti-hero......more

What a ride!!! This was a fun book! Kate and Nick are well rounded characters that, at this point, are three books into their story. I really liked Kate. She was a badass and smart as a whip. Nate was a charmer and as slick as they come! I totally had a crush on him by the halfway mark. But Jake was......more

Action, comedy and a little romance. I've tried to read Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, but it doesn't do it for me. Maybe it is the periphery love triangle. IDK. But this series really gets my motor going LOL. This one is just as funny and captivating as the other two books. Nick and Kate a......more

Nick is in trouble - a Copycat Nick is framing him and spoiling his reputation. 3D Masks. I need these.We are in Turkey. An Eeyore reference. I like him. He's underrated. He was like the Eeyore of cops, seeing only failure and gloom, Kate thought, staring down at her coffee. Wherever you go, whatever yo......more

Goodreads review by Anne on October 20, 2014

The Job has the same problems I mentioned in my reviews of the first two books in this series. My main problem is that the series is plot driven with little character interaction or development. They are stock characters and now that we're to book 3 there should be time for some more character devel......more
