Janet Evanovich, author of the blockbuster Stephanie Plum novels, and Lee Goldberg, writer for the Monk television show, team up once again for the fifth book in their rollicking, New York Times best-selling Fox and O’Hare series!
Nicolas Fox, international con man, thief, and one of the top 10 fugitives on the FBI’s most-wanted list, has been kidnapped from a beachfront retreat in Hawaii. What the kidnapper doesn’t know is that Nick Fox has been secretly working for the FBI. It isn’t long before Nick’s covert partner, Special Agent Kate O’Hare, is in hot pursuit of the crook who stole her con man.
The trail leads to Belgium, France, and Italy and pits Nick and Kate against their deadliest adversary yet: Dragan Kovic, an ex-Serbian military officer. He’s plotting a crime that will net him billions…and cost thousands of American lives.
Nick and Kate have to mount the most daring, risky, and audacious con they’ve ever attempted to save a major US city from a catastrophe of epic proportions. Luckily they have the help of an eccentric out-of-work actor; a bandit who does his best work in the sewers; and Kate’s dad, Jake. The pressure’s on for Nick and Kate to make this work – even if they have to lay their lives on the line.
I love this series. I love this series. Nick & Kate are fun and passionate. The stories are fast paced romps that will leave you breathless and wanting more. The Pursuit (Fox and O’Hare #5) is no different. This book will make you laugh out loud and gasp in sympathetic terror. Each installment is better than the last.
Awesome!!! The book was most excellent!! I love the Nick and Kate dynamics, I am so glad that they are a couple. It frustrates me when authors string you along on a couples relationship. To me it is about the action and plotting of the con.The characters are funny and one my favorites is Kate’s dad Jake. I love the line where he tells Kate the third fever he has about the lady at Costo.
A very fun read, but missing a little something. While still thoroughly enjoyable, I felt that this book was perhaps not as good as the previous books in the series. While I was reading, I kept feeling that something was missing, that little spark that was in all the other books before this. The main characters seemed to be sort of empty, I didn’t make as much of a connection with them this time around. This is definitely more serious than the others, I can tell that Goldberg probably wrote the majority of this one, and while I love…
