About this ebook

FBI agent Kate O’Hare and charming criminal Nick Fox race against time to uncover a buried train filled with Nazi gold in this thrilling adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich and Steve Hamilton.

Type A special agent Kate O’Hare and international criminal Nick Fox have brought down some of the biggest bad guys out there. But now they face their most dangerous foe yet—a vast, shadowy international organization known only as the Brotherhood.

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 and Nick 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.

From a remote monastery in the Swiss Alps to the lawless desert of the Western Sahara, Kate, Nick, and the two men who made them who they are today must crisscross the world in a desperate scramble to stop their deadliest foe in the biggest adventure of their lives.

Ratings and reviews

While this is the 7th book in the Fox and OHare series, all the books can be read without being caught up in the series. I am not sure if I’ve read the entire series, but this is definitely my favorite of the bunch. This reminded me of a book version of the movie National Treasure. Kate and Nick go on a search for long lost hidden gold from the Germans of the WWII era. It all begins with a heist at the Vatican museum and then takes you on a wild ride through Paris, England, Austria, Switzerland and Europe. Having visited some of these places, it was fun to read about their events as they search for the gold. And with some European history along the way, I enjoyed the ride. While not all of the plot seems 100% believable, it was fun to live in their world. While Kate’s father always makes an appearance in the books, it was a nice addition to meet Nick’s father. If you’re a fan of Evanovich and her suspense and humor, you will definitely enjoy this book.

The suspense starts on the very first page and maintains a high level of mystery throughout. There's plenty of action, a real page turner. The characters are deftly drawn. Although 7th in the series, this is easily read as a stand alone. However, I recommend reading in order. The backstories are amazing.
