DESCRIPTION:
The setup is ludicrous fun that demands total suspension of disbelief (no surprise there). With lots of face punching, international travel, and a few set-tos with modern-day pirates, it’s all good nonsense, which promises more of the same in future episodes. When she actually does it, she’s horrified to realize she doesn’t know what to do next. Straitlaced FBI agent Kate O’Hare has devoted most of her career to catching internationally known confidence man, tricky Nick Fox. She doesn’t have long to think about it though, as Nick escapes, and when she finds him, he’s working for the FBI! His job: catch another con man who has made off with millions. Together with help from new friends, the pair mounts an elaborate con that takes them from the American desert to an Indonesian island. From Booklist Evanovich

Now he does it for the thrill. Problem is, teaming up to stop a corrupt investment banker who’s hiding on a private island in Indonesia is going to test O’Hare’s patience and Fox’s skill. Her boss thinks she is tenacious and ambitious; her friends think she is tough, stubborn, and maybe even a bit obsessed. For Nick, there’s no greater rush than being pursued by a beautiful woman even one who aims to lock him up. From Janet Evanovich, no. And while Kate has made quite a name for herself for the past five years the only name she’s cared about is Nicolas Fox—an international crook she wants in more ways than one. Audacious, handsome, and dangerously charming, Nicolas Fox is a natural con man, notorious for running elaborate scams on very high-profile people. But just when it seems that Nicolas Fox has been captured for good, he pulls off his greatest con of all: he convinces the FBI to offer him a job, working side by side with Special Agent Kate O’Hare. Not to mention the skills of their ragtag team made up of flamboyant actors, wanted wheelmen, and Kate’s dad.
