For Nick, there’s no greater rush than being pursued by a beautiful woman even one who aims to lock him up. Not to mention the skills of their ragtag team made up of flamboyant actors, wanted wheelmen, and Kate’s dad. He knows that the FBI has been hot on his trail—particularly Kate O’Hare, who has been watching his every move. The laugh out loud humor that readers expect from Evanovich is in full force, and Goldberg’s crafty and elaborate writing is prominent. Everyone will be eager for the next book in the series.”—Associated Press “The action is fast-paced and the writing is first-rate, making The Heist an excellent choice for vacation reading.”—Huntington NewsFrom the Trade Paperback edition..

After all, who better to catch a crook than another crook? Kate’s not quite sure, but she’s game to work alongside Nick, whose charms she finds difficult to deny. Straitlaced FBI agent Kate O’Hare has devoted most of her career to catching internationally known confidence man, tricky Nick Fox. Together with help from new friends, the pair mounts an elaborate con that takes them from the American desert to an Indonesian island. The setup is ludicrous fun that demands total suspension of disbelief (no surprise there). --Stephanie Zvirin .

"Very lazy effort by authors on cruise control" according to Alan A. Elsner. This is a classic caper book in the tradition of "Oceans 11," which is a genre I'm fond of. Unfortunately, it's a big letdown. special agent Kate O'Hara spends her life trying to trap super-thief con artist Nick Fox. After a quick introduction that previews both protagonists' unique talents (she can kill a man 16 different ways with tweezers) -- and also their mutual sexual attraction - the two are thrown together to manufacture an operation that will recover half a billion dollars bilked by a bent banker.The premise is promising but the execution is so, so flat. Big. reading teacher said For Hire?. In many ways, this book is an improvement on the past few Stephanie Plum books. However, in many other ways, DON'T bother. The plot was mostly predictable, I had most of it figured out way before its authors "surprised" me. The characters were flat. Why does every good-guy female have to be "hottie" and why does every good-guy male have to be a tall hunky beefcake?

Nicolas Fox has long been the bane of Kate O'Hare's life -- until she arranges to have him hit by a bus, leading to his arrest and -- at long last -- the end of his infamous career as a con man and thief. Post-Fox, she's forced to resign herself to a much less interesting (or challenging) professional career investigating the likes of serial copyright violations, until the unthinkable happens, and Fox escapes his FBI handlers en route to his arraignment. Although she's officially sidelined from rejoining the investigation by her boss, Kate can't let her nemesis go. S
