Heist Society
This is the story of a girl growing up in a family of high-end thieves and conmen.
Kat Bishop wants to leave the family business. But that's not easy if your family is a gang of exclusive, world-class thieves.
When a mobster accuses Kat's dad of stealing his priceless art collection, Kat knows there's only one thing to do—she has to find the paintings and steal them back. But with only two weeks, a teenage crew, a plan that will take her across Europe, and her dad's life on the line, can she pull off the biggest heist in history?

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.
And when Kat turns fifteen, she begins planning a con of her own: She wants to "steal a new life" for herself, and she does this by 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 one proves harder than she’d expected.
Before too long, 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 this time Kat's doing it for love, not money.
