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'

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....
