Heist Society (Heist Society Novels) Ally Carter Unabridged edition

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.
