Heist Society (Heist Society #1)
Author: Ally Carter
Desc: When Katarina Bishop was three her parents took her on a trip 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 Kat back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has a good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have pulled 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 history--and with any luck steal her life back along the way.
