The Heist by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg

The Heist by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg

Nicholas Fox is the penultimate con-man.  He is a smooth talker (he could sell ice to Eskimos), a ladies’ man (even those who know better are attracted) and a diabolical planner (he can steal anything from anywhere).  Kate O’Hare is Special Agent Kate O’Hare.  She is the FBI agent who has hunted down Fox for years and finally has him.  Only to be asked by her bosses to let him go.  They suggest that Fox and O’Hare team up off-the-record to take down the guys the FBI can’t get to while following “the rules” to the letter.  Their first mark?  A man who stole the life savings of thousands of people and is living large in the South Pacific.

Entertaining, twisty and a bit over the top this book will put a smile on your face and have you rooting for Fox, O’Hare and their madcap band of merry men (and women).

Scott Brick reads the audiobook, and while he doesn’t do voices like the readers for Evanovich’s Plum series, he has a great voice which makes the listening fun.
