Peter Evanovich

Peter Evanovich is the son of bestselling author Janet Evanovich, with whom he has collaborated on more than one project, most notably taking over co-writing duties on the Fox and O'Hare series for its sixth installment, The Big Kahuna, after novelist Lee Goldberg had co-written the first five books and both of the series' prequel novellas. Fox and O'Hare pairs Nicolas Fox, a world-class con artist the FBI can never quite convict, with Kate O'Hare, the special agent who spent years chasing him before finally recruiting him to use his skills against bigger criminals, in a run of globe-trotting caper thrillers built around elaborate heists and stings. Taking over co-writing duties partway through an established series meant working within a structure and tone Goldberg and Evanovich had already defined across the earlier books, maintaining the caper-plot mechanics and the slow-burn romantic tension between Fox and O'Hare that define the series' appeal. Thriller novelist Steve Hamilton subsequently partnered on the following installment, The Bounty, continuing the pattern of rotating co-authors across the series' later volumes. Detailed biographical information about Peter Evanovich beyond his contributions to the Fox and O'Hare series is limited in the public record.
