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!
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 dollars—and their lives—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 backup—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?
