The Heist Society Series is a series of books by Ally Carter, author of the Gallagher Girls series. So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and maybe just enough misguided pride to pull off the biggest heist in history - or at least in her family's (very crooked) history.A group of teenagers uses their combined talents to re-steal several priceless paintings and save fifteen-year-old Kat Bishop's father, himself an international art thief, from a vengeful collector.Īlly Carter, bestselling author, was born Sarah Leigh Fogleman on January 1, 1974. For Kat, a consummate thief in her own right, the solution is simple: track down the paintings and steal them back. Now, caught between Interpol and a far more deadly predator, Kat's dad needs her help. Only a master thief could have cracked this vault, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he IS the list. Hale has a good reason: A powerful mobster has just been robbed of his priceless art collection, and he wants to retrieve it. Her friend and brother-in-trade Hale, with his mischievous smile and limitless bank account, has appeared out of nowhere to bring her back to the Life, back to the family Kat tried so hard to escape. In fact, she was framed - by another highly skilled thief. Although she could have done it without breaking a sweat, ironically, this time, she's innocent.
But when Kat tries to go straight and leave the "Life" for a normal life, she's promptly kicked out of her new school for stealing the headmaster's car and mounting it on the school fountain. Since she can remember, Katarina's relatives have been grooming her for the family business - thieving.
