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.
