The Scam

The Scam by Janet Evanovich & Lee Goldberg, 286 pages

This is more of the usual fare from this team of setting up a scam in order to catch the crook with a few laughs and a lot of sexual tension on the way.  In this book Kate, FBI agent, and Nick, con artist and secretly working with the FBI, are setting up an operation to trap casino mogul Evan Trace in his money laundering schemes.  Along the way, they drag in a Hawaiian gang lord in an effort to take him down also.  There are several close calls along the way, with the worry that their scheme will be uncovered, and Trace setting up a scam of his own that could ruin their plans.  I'm still enjoying this series.  The characters are funny and the stories, even though somewhat predictable, are still fun.  Fans od the romantic comedy adventures should check these out.
