The Scam

Janet Evanovich & Lee Goldberg

Published by Hachette New Zealand, 15 September 2015 TPB $34.99 RRP/EBK $19.99 RRP

The fourth book in the fast-paced, action-packed Fox and O’Hare series from Janet Evanovich, No. 1 bestselling author of the blockbuster Stephanie Plum novels, and Lee Goldberg, bestselling author of the Monk series, and co-author of The Heist, The Chase and The Job.

He’s on the run. She’s an FBI agent. But putting Nick Fox in gaol is the last thing on Kate O’Hare’s mind. Nicolas Fox is a charming con man and master thief. Kate O’Hare is the FBI agent on his trail. At least that’s what everyone thinks. In reality, they’re secretly working together to bring down super-criminals.

Criminals like brutal casino magnate Evan Trace.

Evan Trace is running a money-laundering operation through his casino. Some of his best customers are mobsters, dictators, and global terrorists. Nick and Kate are going deep undercover as high-stakes gamblers, wagering millions of dollars – and their lives – in an attempt to topple Trace’s empire.

The Scam will take Fox and O’Hare from the Las Vegas strip, to the sun-soaked beaches of Hawaii, and into the dark back alleys of Macau. Their only backup – a self-absorbed actor, a Somali pirate, and an ex-soldier who believes a rocket launcher is the best way to solve every problem.

What could possibly go wrong?

About The Author: Janet Evanovich is the No. 1 bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum novels and the Lizzy and Diesel series as well as the Fox & O’Hare series with Lee Goldberg. In addition she is the author of Full House, Full Tilt, Full Speed and Full Blast, amongst many more.
