Katrina Bishop is a legendary teen thief who uses her powers for good. Yup, a good thief. Guided by the infamous Visiley Romani - a figure, not a man - she steals WWII relics stolen by the Nazis and returns them, via a third party (not Romani as far as we know), to their rightful owners.

Approached by an elderly woman and her grandson who claim they are victims sent to her by Romani (not his usual m.o.), Kat is asked to steal the Cleopatra Emerald; only 97 karats and rarely seen by anyone, never mind the public. Together with it's twin, the Anthony Emerald (also 97 karats) the stones are forbidden territory among the world of thieves for many reasons, not the least of which is "the curse". But Kat and her gang of teen thieves pull it off. Kat realizes almost immediately after delivering the stone that she has been conned. The perpetrator?, one Margaret Gray, con artist, role model, the future of Kat or maybe something worse. Romani's only comment: "Get It Back".

This one, like the original, is a true adventure that will keep you interested from the first to last pages!

This book is a sequel to Heist Society. While good as a stand alone story, reading Heist Society will give the story line and the characters a depth not achieved in this book alone. Carter writes deep characters and intricate story lines which are appropriate for teens of all ages. Yes, Kat and her crew are thieves, but this book is otherwise innocuous and could be recommended to teens of all ages.
