Ally Carter - Uncommon Criminals

Uncommon Criminals: Where History Repeats Itself, But the Rules Are Broken

Katarina Bishop, a young woman with a knack for trouble and a talent for thievery, is no stranger to labels. Friend, niece, daughter, thief – these are but a few of the titles she has worn throughout her life. But for the past two months, she's been known as the girl who pulled off the impossible: the heist of the greatest museum in the world. Now, she faces a new challenge. A task that will test not only her skills, but also her courage. The infamous Cleopatra Emerald, lost to history for three decades, has resurfaced, and Kat has been tasked with its retrieval, a mission steeped in mystery and danger. The emerald's history is a tale of tragedy and curses. Since the fall of the Egyptian Empire, its possession has proven to be a deadly gamble. Every owner has met a tragic end, leaving Kat to ponder the age-old question – does history truly repeat itself? This time, however, Kat is not alone. She has her best friend, the charismatic and captivating Hale, by her side, along with her trusted crew. They embark on a globe-trotting adventure to chase the Cleopatra Emerald, navigating ancient curses, and facing unforeseen perils. Their usual tricks and cons, honed over centuries of family tradition, are rendered useless in the face of this potent relic. The stakes are higher than ever. The curse of the emerald hangs heavy in the air, threatening to claim Kat and her crew. But Kat Bishop, a girl who thrives on the edge of chaos, isn't ready to give in. She's determined to rewrite the script, forge her own destiny, and break the shackles of history's iron grip. **Uncommon Criminals** is a thrilling adventure that blends historical intrigue with modern twists, offering a fresh and exciting take on the world of heist novels. **Ally Carter** is a New York Times bestselling author known for her fast-paced and witty writing, creating stories that are both action-packed and emotionally resonant.
