The real culprit is revealed to be an old friend, Hale, who drags Kat from her would-be life at Colgan and back into the Bishops' way of living. The story begins with Kat Bishop being expelled from prestegious boarding school Colgan School, after being deftly framed for ruining the headmaster's car in the school's fountain. So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in her family's history-and, with any luck, steal her life back along the way. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.įor Kat, there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. But he has a good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Soon, 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. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own-scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it.
