The Chase (Fox and O'Hare #2)
by
Janet Evanovich (Goodreads Author),
Lee Goldberg (Goodreads Author)
Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg, New York Times bestselling authors of The Heist, return
in this action-packed, exciting adventure featuring master con artist
Nicolas Fox and die-hard FBI agent Kate O’Hare. And this time around,
things go from hot to nuclear when government secrets are on the line.
Internationally renowned thief and con artist Nicolas Fox is famous for running elaborate and daring scams. His greatest con of all: convincing the FBI to team him up with the only person who has ever caught him, and the only woman to ever capture his attention, Special Agent Kate O’Hare. Together they’ll go undercover to swindle and catch the world’s most wanted—and untouchable—criminals.
Their newest target is Carter Grove, a former White House chief of staff and the ruthless leader of a private security agency. Grove has stolen a rare Chinese artifact from the Smithsonian, a crime that will torpedo U.S. relations with China if it ever becomes public. Nick and Kate must work under the radar—and against the clock—to devise a plan to steal the piece back. Confronting Grove’s elite assassins, Nick and Kate rely on the skills of their ragtag crew, including a flamboyant actor, a Geek Squad techie, and a band of AARP-card-carrying mercenaries led by none other than Kate’s dad.
A daring heist and a deadly chase lead Nick and Kate from Washington, D.C., to Shanghai, from the highlands of Scotland to the underbelly of Montreal. But it’ll take more than death threats, trained henchmen, sleepless nights, and the fate of a dynasty’s priceless heirloom to outsmart Fox and O’Hare.

I loved
this! It was so hilariously funny! Janet Evanovich always makes me
laugh, and I had to read some parts aloud to my husband!
“You have a very overprotective father,” Nick said. “When you were a teenager, how did he greet your dates? With a flamethrower?”
“With a foot-long combat machete, just like the one he gave me for my twelfth birthday.”
“Every girl should have one,” Nick said.
