The Heist

A Fox and O'Hare Novel
Janet Evanovich
Lee Goldberg

Nicolas Fox is high on the FBI's most wanted list as a master thief and con-man. Kate O'Hare is the FBI special agent leading the task force to capture him. When she finally does get him into custody, she is able to finally relax and move on to more mundane assignments... until Fox escapes. Or, that is until Kate finds that her bosses have cut a deal with Fox to allow him to go free as long as he works with the FBI (that is, works with Kate) to bring down bigger fish. So begins a love-hate relationship between criminal and cop. In this episode, Fox and O'Hare develop a con that brings down a corrupt banker hiding out in Indonesia. As a con, there are multiple players involved (the driver, the set construction guy, the actor, the muscle, etc) and everyone plays their part. This is a fun book (that turns into a fun series) of a perfectly matched, yet mis-matched, set of partners out to clean up crime.
