When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her to the
Louvre . . . to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina
and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria . . . to steal the
crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of
her own — scamming her way into the best boarding school in
the country, determined to leave the family business behind.
Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves
harder than she’d expected.
Soon, Kat’s friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears
out of nowhere to bring her back into the world she tried so
hard to escape. But he has good reason: a powerful mobster’s
priceless art collection has been stolen and he wants it
returned. Only a master thief could have pulled off this
job, and Kat’s father isn’t just on the suspect list, he is
the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly
enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.
For Kat there is only one solution: track down the paintings
and steal them back. So what if it’s a spectacularly
impossible job? She’s got two weeks, a teenage crew, and,
hopefully, just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist
in her family’s (very crooked) history — and with any luck,
steal her life back along the way.
