The Chase
By Janet Evanovich & Lee GoldbergPublisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg, bestselling authors of The Heist, return in this action-packed, exciting adventure featuring master con artist Nicolas Fox and die-hard FBI agent Kate O’Hare. And this time around, things go from hot to nuclear when government secrets are on the line.
Internationally renowned thief and con artist Nicolas Fox is famous for running elaborate and daring scams. His greatest con of all: convincing the FBI to team him up with the only person who has ever caught him, and the only woman to ever capture his attention, Special Agent Kate O’Hare. Together they’ll go undercover to swindle and catch the world’s most wanted—and untouchable—criminals.
Their newest target is Carter Grove, a former White House chief of staff and the ruthless leader of a private security agency. Grove has stolen a rare Chinese artifact from the Smithsonian, a crime that will torpedo U.S. relations with China if it ever becomes public. Nick and Kate must work under the radar—and against the clock—to devise a plan to steal the piece back. Confronting Grove’s elite assassins, Nick and Kate rely on the skills of their ragtag crew, including a flamboyant actor, a Geek Squad techie, and a band of AARP-card-carrying mercenaries led by none other than Kate’s dad.
A daring heist and a deadly chase lead Nick and Kate from Washington, D.C., to Shanghai, from the highlands of Scotland to the underbelly of Montreal. But it’ll take more than death threats, trained henchmen, sleepless nights, and the fate of a dynasty’s priceless heirloom to outsmart Fox and O’Hare.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg's The Job.

“Another solid entertaining book that while not having the highest quality writing or plot, kept me completely engaged”

“Initial Impressions 12/29/17: These aren't really five-star books but they just really hit all of my favorite things. I love the "coziness" of the cozy mystery (even though it's a thriller, not mystery -- is cozy thriller a thing?) and how much I really enjoy listening to these audiobooks. I didn't realize when I read the first book that it was more heist/con than mystery since all of the other Evanovich books I've read are more on the murder-mystery side and I LOVE the change of pace. I'm just enjoying them so much.
There's not much more to say about this book than the first except that I still love the involvement of everyday people in these cons. I'm not sure why it makes a difference but it does, and I like that we go to see new recruits as well as some of the characters we fell in love with in the first book.
I love the chemistry between Nick and Kate and I appreciate that they aren't just thrown into a romance right away. I like being able to follow their chemistry and story with things growing a little bit in each book without ruining that tension right off the bat.
Highly enjoying this series and I'm excited to keep reading!”
