" NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER He's a charming con man and she's a dedicated FBI agent, and they're about to drive each other crazy . again! The FBI had one demand when they secretly teamed up Special Agent Kate O'Hare with charming con man Nicolas Fox--bring down the world's most-wanted and untouchable felons. This time it's the brutal leader of a global drug-smuggling empire. The FBI doesn't know what their target looks like, where he is, or how to find him, but Nick Fox has a few tricks up his sleeve to roust this particular Knipschildt chocolate--loving drug lord. From the streets of Nashville to the back alleys of Lisbon, from the rooftops of Istanbul to the middle of the Thames, Nick and Kate chase their mark. When they find themselves pitted against a psychopathic bodyguard and a Portuguese enforcer who gets advice from a pickled head, they decide it's time to enlist some special talent--talent like a machete-wielding Somali pirate, a self-absorbed actor, an Oscar-winning special effects artist, and Kate's father Jake, a retired Special Forces operative. Together they could help make this Fox and O'Hare's biggest win yet . if they survive.

Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: February 2, 2015 This new caper, featuring by-the-book FBI Agent Kate O’Hare and raffish playboy/thief Nick Fox, sends the crime-busting odd couple across the globe squabbling and searching for a mysterious international drug lord they hope to swindle and put away. Following the only available clue to his identity—an addiction to Knipschildt chocolates—they get close enough to put themselves in jeopardy not just with him and his sadistic significant other, but with an assortment of bizarre and sinister types, including a vicious bodyguard who follows the advice of the preserved head of one of his Portuguese ancestors. Though the authors have not given the picked head any dialogue, robbing reader Brick of the opportunity of creating something profoundly original, they have included FBI agents and criminals with an assortment of accents, from Southern to Spanish. It’s Brick’s narrative style to keep such inflections subtle. His main focus is on Fox and O’Hare: her voice has a hard edge that softens slightly only during her unguarded moments with Nick, while his remains wryly amused and playful until he senses Kate is in danger. Brick has no problem following the authors’ lead, revving up the pace during the thrilling sequences, leveling off after the cliffhanger escapes, and lightening up during the moments when the couple is bickering. A Bantam hardcover. "
