How to read the Fox and O’Hare Series in Order?
Every entry in the Fox and O’Hare book series works as a standalone story, but the lives of the different characters evolve from one novel to the other.
- The Shell Game – This short story is a prequel. You can read it later if you wish, after The Heist if you want, or just when you want.
- Pros and Cons – This first short story was published to be read before The Heist, but you can skip it if you want.
- The Caper – This is an 8-page short story, very optional. Originally published in special edition hardcovers of The Heist for Barnes and Noble.
- The Heist – Nicolas Fox is an international con man. He knows that the FBI has been hot on his trail for years. But just when it seems that 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 Kate O’Hare. Their first assignment isp to catch Derek Griffin, a corrupt investment banker charged with stealing millions from his clients.
- The Chase – The newest target of Nicolas Fox and Kate O’Hare is Carter Grove, a former White House chief of staff and the ruthless leader of a private security agency. Grove has stolen a rare Chinese artifact from the Smithsonian, a crime that will torpedo U.S. relations with China if it ever becomes public.
- The Job – This time, Kate O’Hare and Nicolas Fox must bring down 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.
- The Scam – Evan Trace is running a money-laundering operation through his casino in Macau. Some of his best customers are mobsters, dictators, and global terrorists. Nick Fox and Kate O’Hare will have to go deep undercover as high-stakes gamblers, wagering millions of dollars-and their lives-in an attempt to topple Trace’s empire.
- The Pursuit – Nick Fox has been kidnapped from a beachfront retreat in Hawaii. It isn’t long before Kate O’Hare is in hot pursuit of the crook who stole her con man. The trail leads to Belgium, France, and Italy, and pits Nick and Kate against their deadliest adversary yet: Dragan Kovic, an ex–Serbian military officer. He’s plotting a crime that will net him billions … and cost thousands of American lives.
- The Big Kahuna – The mysterious disappearance of the Silicon Valley billionaire, known as the Big Kahuna. Kate’s been assigned to find him but no one seems particularly keen on helping. His twenty-six year old adult actress wife-turned Instagram model wife and his shady Czech business partner are more interested in gaining control of his company. For that they need a dead body not a living Kahuna.
- The Bounty – Directly descended from the Vatican Bank priests who served Hitler during World War II, the Brotherhood is on a frantic search for a lost train loaded with $30 billion in Nazi gold, untouched for over seventy-five years somewhere in the mountains of Eastern Europe. Kate O’Hare and Nick Fox know that there is only one man who can find the fortune and bring down the Brotherhood-the same man who taught Nick everything he knows-his father, Quentin. As the stakes get higher, they must also rely on Kate’s own father, Jake, who shares his daughter’s grit and stubbornness. Too bad they can never agree on anything.
