Pick of the Month
Heist Society
by Ally Carter
You can take the girl out of the thieving life, but can you really take the thief out of the girl?
Katarina Bishop has been framed. Wrongfully accused of ‘Porsche-gate’ (a dreadful incident where the headmistresses car somehow ended up on top of the fountain) she’s been turned out of the exclusive private school she conned her way in to.
Kat finds it impossible to escape her past when Hale, her former (ridiculously wealthy) partner-in-crime who she just might be in love with, let’s her know that he framed her and why. Kat's father is the sole suspect in the theft of five priceless paintings from the collection of the very dangerous Arturo Taccone, a man who doesn't care that her father isn't guilty; he just wants his paintings back at any cost.
Kat has two weeks to track down the paintings, steal them back and save her father’s life. With a crew of masterful teenage con artists, a target of one of the most secure buildings in the world, and the FBI watching her every move the question is - does Kat have what it takes to pull off the most spectacularly impossible job ever?
