He thinks she just needs to lighten up. Theyre working together to tackle the out-of-bounds cases ordinary FBI agents cant touch. And, their relationship? Well, there hasnt been so much explosive chemistry since Nitro was introduced to Glycerin. Next on the docket: The mysterious disappearance of the Silicon Valley billionaire, known as the Big Kahuna. Kates been assigned to find him but no one seems particularly keen on helping. His twenty-six year old adult actress wife-turned 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 only lead they have is the Kahunas drop-out son, whos living the dream in Hawaii - if your dream is starting your day with the perfect wave and ending it with a big bowl of weed. To get close to the Kahunas son, Kate and Nick go undercover as a married couple in the big wave, bohemian, surfer community of Paia, Maui. Living a laid back, hippy-dippy lifestyle isnt exactly in Kates wheelhouse, but the only thing more horrifying is setting up house with Nick Fox, even if he does look pretty gnarly on a longboard. If they dont catch a break soon, waves arent the only thing shes going to be shredding (or bedding).

She had reluctantly relegated the outfit to the back of her tiny closet, which now overflowed with an assortment of designer clothes and resort-casual beachwear. The designer clothes and beachwear were all acquired during her recent stint of undercover work. Tools of the trade, she told herself. Unfortunately, it was Nicolas Foxs trade. He was a brilliant con man and a world-class thief. Shed arrested him two years ago, and hed charmed his way out of a lifetime in prison by offering up his unique talents to help the FBI take down the worst and most elusive criminals. Now she had the impossible job of acting as his handler. When conventional police work couldnt get the job done, the FBI set Fox loose to run questionably legal cons and undercover operations on out-of-reach bad guys. Some days Kate wondered whether she was managing Nicolas Fox or he was managing her. Today was one of those days. It was noon, and she was standing in the middle of the Beverly Hills Saks Fifth Avenue dressed in black slacks, a black-and-white striped shirt, red suspenders, white gloves, and a black beret. Her face was painted completely white, except for her bright red lipstick. She was surrounded by a sea of similarly dressed men and women, possibly hundreds of them. It was a flash mob of mimes, and they were all doing classic mime stunts, trying to get out of invisible boxes and climb invisible ladders, struggling not to get blown away by nonexistent wind. This is ridiculous, Kate said to the mime standing next to her. In fact, this has got to be the most ridiculous, humiliating plan youve ever devised. And thats saying a lot. The mime next to her was Nick Fox. You have a short memory, he said.
