Master con artist Nicolas Fox is famous for his elaborate scams, his greatest con of all: convincing the FBI to team him up with the only person who has ever caught him, Special Agent Kate O’Hare. Together they go undercover to catch the world’s most wanted criminals.
Their newest target is Carter Grove, ruthless leader of a private security agency. Grove has stolen a rare Chinese artefact from the Smithsonian, a crime that will torpedo US relations with China if it ever becomes public. Nick and Kate must work under the radar to steal the piece back. Confronting Grove’s elite assassins, Nick and Kate rely on the skills of a ragtag crew, including a band of geriatric mercenaries led by none other than Kate’s dad.
A deadly chase leads Nick and Kate from Washington DC to Shanghai, to the highlands of Scotland. But it’ll take more than death threats, trained henchmen and the fate of a dynasty’s priceless heirloom to outsmart Fox and O’Hare.
