Just when it seems that international crook 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. 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 -- if the two don't kill each other first.

Review of 'The heist' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Even though she is called Hare and he is called Fox, it's FBI Agent Kate O’Hare that is pursuing Nicolas Fox, a very skilled thief. Kate ends up catching Fox and he cuts a deal with the FBI and changes sides, as expected.

I think I liked the short stories better, but this book was very entertaining. The story is not exactly original but I enjoyed reading it and finding out which plan they were going to try next. I liked that the end wasn't extremely obvious, even though most of the plot was. But I really wished they added a twist where Griffin ended up being gay and wanting Fox instead....
