FBI special agent Kate O'Hare has made it her mission to nail international con artist Nicolas Fox. When she discovers his plot to plunder a venture capitalist's twentieth-story Chicago penthouse of all its cash and treasures at the same time that the self-proclaimed "King of Hostile Takeovers" is getting married, Kate is 85 percent—okay maybe 92 percent—sure that she's finally going to bag Nick Fox.

It's going take a pro to catch a con before the fireworks over Lake Michigan go off.
