The Heist: A Novel Description
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 new series featuring an FBI agent who always gets her man, and a fearless con artist who lives for the chase. Nicolas Fox is an international con man, famous for running elaborate scams on very rich and powerful people. He knows that the FBI has been hot on his trail for years—particularly FBI Special Agent Kate O’Hare. But just when it seems that 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 O’Hare.
Their first assignment takes them to the side streets of Berlin, the California desert, and remote Indonesian islands as they team up to catch Derek Griffin, a corrupt investment banker charged with stealing millions from his clients. Finding Griffin on his private island is going to test O’Hare’s patience and Fox’s skill. 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.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg's

FBI agent Kate O'Hare is the woman every woman would like to be; smart, independent, able to stay incredibly, effortlessly sexy and physically toned in spite of eating Oreo cookies and meatballs she picked off of her Kevlar vest, while she cooly makes a call for backup. Nick Fox, aptly named, is the ultimate sexy bad boy. This book picks up where the introductory teaser-short Pros and Cons, by the same authors, lets off. I held out hope for this book to be better than the teaser, and it is. I also have to say that the book was a refreshing change from the Stephanie Plum series. (which I stopped reading about six books ago, about two books after i felt it should have ended) It is nice to see some of the original Evanovich verve has returned with new characters since the once-fun Stephanie series..
This book is a collaboration between Monk author Lee Goldberg and Janet Evanovich. It turns out to be a lighthearted bit-of-the-same from these authors. I got exactly what I had expected from them. It reads like a TV cop show (hmmm, go figure). There was nothing about the writing that overly impressed me. There were no big ah-ha moments. I won't give any spoilers about the relationship, but suffice it to say that it is pretty predictable...but predictable in a kind of fun and comforting way. There were plenty of clever moments that made me smile a little. A couple of them made me laugh out loud.
I listened to this book on audible. Scott Brick did a very good job narrating. I was expecting a woman's voice to do the job, but it didn't matter and he did fine. The story was fun and interesting enough to keep me awake and alert on my wee-hours-of-the-morning road trip.
