This is the second book in the series. Kat has grown up in a family of sophisticated criminals. She tried to leave the "family business" in the Heist Society, but she was drawn back in while trying to save her dad. Kat and her crew--Hale (her friend and love interest) and Gabrielle (her cousin), and a few others-- are famous for having robbed one of the greatest museums of the world. After their great heist Kat has been going on solo missions by herself. During her latest trip she stole a Cezanne painting from a house filled with former KGB agents. After returning Kat talks to her cousin Gabrielle who says, "Our world is built on adrenaline and getting away with it...It's a far simpler life to lead when there's no one around to tell you when you're being stupid." Later Kat is approached by an old woman to make the steal of the century, and Kat needs her crew. Their next challenge is to steal the infamous Cleopatra emerald, that of course, is cursed. Little do they know what awaits them.
I loved these books even before reading them because the cover reminds me of Audrey Hepburn, and some of the great movies like To Catch a Thief or more recent titles like the Ocean Eleven series and The Italian Job. There's always a little adventure, mystery, and romance. Both books are fun fast reads.
