The newest mystery from the author One of Us Is Lying, the Queen of thrillers, Karen M. McManus! When mother-daughter grifters set out on their final job, the heist gets deadly and dangerously personal.
For all of Kat s life, it s just been her and her mother, Jamie except for the forty-eight hours Jamie was married, and Kat had a step-brother, Liam. That all ended in an epic divorce, and Kat and Liam haven t spoken since.
Now, Jamie is a jewel thief, and her boss, Gem, is the closest thing Kat has ever had to extended family. So it s no wonder that Kat is crushed when Jamie breaks the news: they're going straight. Her next job will be her last and it s a big one. Because the woman whose necklace they ll be stealing is Annalise Sutherland, a member of one of America s richest families.
Liam's father is not his favorite person, but since his mother's tragic death six months ago, he's had to live with him. So far all he's learned about the man is that he's seria l scammer. He dates women and cons them out of money. His latest mark--Annalise Southerland. Which is how Liam and Kat end up in the same place. Ross Sutherland s, birthday celebration, hosted at the Sutherland family compound.
This final job is supposed to be easy, but from the moment Kat and Liam reunite it's clear that something is horribly, dangerously wrong. And just like those 48 hours their parents were married, they can only count on each other. Or can they? Everyone is lying and suddenly Kat is in the crosshairs of a mysterious stranger who definitely wants her dead. Or is it even a stranger?
