Synopsis

For as long as she can remember, Katarina has been a part of the family business thieving.  When Kat tries to leave “the life” for a normal life, her old friend Hale conspires to bring her back into the fold.  Why? A mobster’s art collection has been stolen, and Kat’s father is the only suspect.  Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.

The only solution is to find the paintings and steal them back.  Kat’s got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in her family’s history and, with any luck, steal her life back along the way.

With its glamorous international settings, intriguing suspense, complicated cons and even more complicated romance, Heist Society is stealing the hearts of Ally Carter fans everywhere.

From AudioFile:

Carter, author of the fabulous Gallagher Girl spy series, strikes gold again with this sophisticated young-adult mash-up of OCEAN'S ELEVEN and THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR. Narrator Angela Dawe does the story full justice, delivering a stylish performance with panache and a soupçon of humor. Katarina is trying to get out of the family business--she's an up-and-comer in a long line of exceptional art thieves--by getting herself into prep school. But she gets pulled back into her criminal life when her dad is accused of a major heist from a major bad guy. Kat assembles her crew and starts planning the most risky job of her career. Dawe engages listeners with a feather-light performance expertly suited to this classy story. D.G. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
