The Chase by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg
Description from the publisher:
"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."
This book caught my attention from the first page and with twists and turns all the way through, I could not put it down! Every page had something that grabbed my attention and it was very hard to find anything negative to say.
I thought the characters were believable and the story was well written. Kate is easy to side with and Nick is hilarious! You never know what he will come up with next which is part of the fun of this book! The cover is a little boring to me but it does stand out. All in all, it was a great read and I recommend it!
***This book was given to me by the publisher in exchange for an open and honest review***
