THE SCAM
Janet Evanovich, Lee Goldberg

Mystery

Nicholas Fox is a charming con man and master thief on the run from F.B.I. Agent Kate O'Hare. But that is part of THE SCAM. He is really working with Kate to bring down super criminals the law can't touch. Such people like Evan Trace, a brutal casino magnate.

Some of Trace's best customers for his money-laundering operation that he does through his casino in Macau are mobsters, dictators and global terrorists. In an attempt to topple Trace, and perhaps take a few other bad guys with him, Nick and Kate will go deep undercover as high-stakes gamblers.

THE SCAM will take them from Vegas to the beaches of Oahu's North Shore and into the dark alleys of Macau. With the back up of a self-absorbed actor, a Somali pirate and Kate's own father, the ex-soldier who believes a rocket launcher would solve every problem. What possibly could go wrong? You guessed it ... a lot!

THE SCAM is book four of the Fox and O'Hare series and it is hilarious with just the right amount of seriousness and intrigue. Nick might claim to be reformed but it seems to me he certainly enjoys seeing just how far he can push things and get away with it. Kate takes her job very seriously, she is proud of the fact that she can kick butt and still be totally feminine. So much so that the tempting Nick is making her do the denial dance, and it is fun to watch. This book is filled with action, a charismatic hero, a heroine who is fighting to stay in charge (see charismatic hero to know why), with secondary characters, which includes her own father, that are quirky and entertaining. If you haven't read any of the other three books you can easily read this one without getting lost or confused. You will of course want to get the other three as soon as you finish this one because they are that good. Another winner!

SUMMARY

Nicolas Fox is a charming con man and master thief on the run. Kate O’Hare is the FBI agent who is hot on his trail. At least that’s what everyone thinks. In reality, Fox and O’Hare are secretly working together to bring down super-criminals the law can’t touch. Criminals like brutal casino magnate Evan Trace. Evan Trace is running a money-laundering operation through his casino in Macau. Some of his best customers are mobsters, dictators, and global terrorists. Nick and Kate will have to go deep undercover as high-stakes gamblers, wagering millions of dollarsβ€”and their livesβ€”in an attempt to topple Trace’s empire. It’s a scam that will take Fox and O’Hare from the Las Vegas strip, to the sun-soaked beaches of Oahu’s North Shore, and into the dark back alleys of Macau. Their only backupβ€”a self-absorbed actor, a Somali pirate, and Kate’s father, an ex-soldier who believes a rocket launcher is the best way to solve every problem. What could possibly go wrong?
