    Kat used to lead a life of danger before she pulled her biggest con ever and walked away from a life of thievery
    to attend boarding school.  Her enrollment lasts a few months before her old life comes crashing in on her and
    her plans.

    She's framed for a prank she didn't commit, but that will nonetheless result in her expulsion from school. Quickly
    she realizes this dismissal is the work of an old family friend. He's here to tell her that her master thief father
    needs her help.

    Turns out her father's been set up, too. Only the consequences are nowhere near as soft as being kicked out of
    boarding school.

    Kat secretly meets her father's deadly enemy and works out a deal. She has two weeks to find the paintings and
    steal them back. If successful, it will be the biggest job she'll ever pull off - and also the most dangerous. Can
    she do it?

    I adore THE GALLAGHER GIRLS series, but this new series may be even better.  HEIST SOCIETY is my
    new favorite book. The combination of finding the art, the major heist, saving a relative, and going against the
    family makes for a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat read.
