Synopsis

After pulling off one of the biggest heists ever at one of the world’s most famous museums, Katarina Bishop’s name is becoming something big in the world of thieves.  When she is approached by a woman with a compelling story and a name that means something, Katarina accepts one of the biggest and most deadly of tasks; to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald.  Many have tried to steal the emerald, but all have failed because with the Emerald comes a curse.

Katarina soon finds herself in over her head.  None of the old family tricks are going to work and it is up to Katarina and crew to figure out how to play with a whole new set of rules.

I found this book to be very enjoyable.  It was fast paced, easy reading.  Katarina is operating on the high of success as a one woman show, but by the end of the book she realizes that she is better with the family and friends that support and love her than she is without them.  This book is labeled YA.  It was a clean, fun read.
