When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. 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. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected.

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. But he has a good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.

For Kat, there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. 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.

*********************************

Keinginanku memiliki buku ini tidak lebih karena aku sudah punya buku keduanya, Uncommon Criminals, yang aku beli di bargain bin-nya Periplus. Aku membelinya dengan harga yang sangat murah untuk binding type hardcover. Hanya Rp 27.000 termasuk ongkos kirim ke Surabaya :) Nama Ally Carter sendiri sudah tidak asing ditelingaku. Mulai dari I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I Have to Kill You, yang tidak pernah selesai aku baca, sampai Matched, yang pernah aku coba baca versi e-booknya.

Dalam PO yang dibuka oleh And Or Bookstore bulan lalu, aku memasukkan Heist Society dalam pesananku. Waktu itu sih paling murah £2.90 dengan kondisi good, tapi baru saja aku cek lagi di World of Books, ada yang £2.79 dengan kondisi very good!! Ah, rasanya tertohok sekali. Meski masih belum bisa dibilang mahal, perbedaan beberapa pounds itu berarti bagi kantong mahasiswa.

Sudahlah, yang penting WW ini akan segera terwujud. I totally can't wait!
