NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Janet Evanovich, bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series, teams up with Emmy-winning writer Phoef Sutton for a brand-new series of mysteries featuring Emerson Knight and Riley Moon, a dynamic duo with instant and undeniable chemistry.
Emerson Knight is introverted, eccentric, and has little to no sense of social etiquette. Good thing he’s also brilliant, rich, and (some people might say) handsome, or he’d probably be homeless. Riley Moon has just graduated from Harvard Business and Harvard Law. Her aggressive Texas spitfire attitude has helped her land her dream job as a junior analyst with mega-bank Blane-Grunwald. At least Riley Moon thought it was her dream job, until she is given her first assignment: babysitting Emerson Knight.
What starts off as an inquiry about missing bank funds in the Knight account leads to inquiries about a missing man, missing gold, and a life-and-death race across the country. Through the streets of Washington, D.C., and down into the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in New York City, an evil plan is exposed. A plan so sinister that only a megalomaniac could think it up, and only the unlikely duo of the irrepressibly charming Emerson Knight and the tenacious Riley Moon can stop it.

Summary
I was looking forward to reading this novel as the synopsis sounded great, but I was disappointed. There are not many books that I want the end to come quickly, but this was one of them. The story evolves around a very eccentric Emerson Knight who owns a mansion, several collectible cars and has various exotic animals wandering around his house and grounds. He is so off-the-wall, that he lives in a tent! He owns millions in gold bars and has requested that he personally view them. The bank does not comply with his request, but instead sends one of their newest employees, Riley Moon, to try and placate him and stall him. The storyline then goes into how Riley tries to fulfill his request and finds some very strange things connected to locating his gold. I think this is why I did not enjoy the book - it was just so bizarre and far fetched, almost sci-fi or fantasy. The character of Emerson Knight was just too eccentric to believe.
