Lewis, K: Thieves‘ Gambit

The Inheritance Games meets Ocean’s Eleven in this cinematic heist thriller where a cutthroat competition brings together the world’s best thieves and one thief is playing for the highest stakes of all: her parents’ lives. At only seventeen years old, Ross Quest is already a master thief, especially adept at escape plans. But escaping her family business—grand larceny—to attend college like a regular teen proves more difficult. Her future plans take an unexpected turn when she’s invited to participate in the Thieves Gambit—a high-stakes competition where winner takes all. Ross isn’t interested until a botched robbery aboard a yacht leaves her parents lives hanging in the balance. When no one else can help, the prize for winning the Gambit—a wish for anything in the world—becomes the only thing Ross has her sights set on. Thrust back into the very world she was trying to abandon, Ross must find a way to outsmart the other players in a series of dangerous heists where killing the competition isn’t exactly off limits. But when she learns two of her competitors include her childhood nemesis and a smooth-talking, good-looking boy who might also want to steal Ross’s heart, winning the Gambit becomes trickier than she imagined. Ross tries her best to stick to the family creed: trust no one whose last name isn’t Quest, but this isn’t a competition that Ross can win alone. Trusting the wrong person could mean the difference between her parents living or dying. In a race against time, Ross takes the biggest risk of all to win: trusting her own heart.
