The Picasso heist / by Patterson, James,1947-author.; Roughan, Howard,author.;
"There are millions of reasons why Halston Graham became an undercover art thief. The art world ignites with the discovery of a previously unknown Picasso painting. After being hidden away for fifty years in the attic of a French villa, it's valued at $100 million and put up for auction. Echelon, the Upper East Side auction house brokering the sale, is flooded with interest. Wealthy collectors and museum directors circle publicly while organized-crime operatives-and a surveillance team from the Criminal Division of the US Attorney's Office-keep a lower profile. None of the interested parties has a chance at winning the Picasso without the help of Halston Graham. The young auction-house employee graduated second in her class at Columbia, but she's a first-rate art thief-and an expert gambler who knows how to calculate the odds and play her considerable leverage against all sides. To complete the Picasso Heist, she must stay one step ahead of the truth before the gavel falls"--

The blacktongue thief / by Buehlman, Christopher,author.;
"Set in a world of goblin wars, stag-sized battle ravens, and assassins who kill with deadly tattoos, Christopher Buehlman's The Blacktongue Thief begins a 'dazzling' (Robin Hobb) fantasy adventure unlike any other. Kinch Na Shannack owes the Takers Guild a small fortune for his education as a thief, which includes (but is not limited to) lock-picking, knife-fighting, wall-scaling, fall-breaking, lie-weaving, trap-making, plus a few small magics. His debt has driven him to lie in wait by the old forest road, planning to rob the next traveler that crosses his path. But today, Kinch Na Shannack has picked the wrong mark. Galva is a knight, a survivor of the brutal goblin wars, and handmaiden of the goddess of death. She is searching for her queen, missing since a distant northern city fell to giants. Unsuccessful in his robbery and lucky to escape with his life, Kinch now finds his fate entangled with Galva's. Common enemies and uncommon dangers force thief and knight on an epic journey where goblins hunger for human flesh, krakens hunt in dark waters, and honor is a luxury few can afford"--

Terror at the gates / by St. Clair, Scarlett,author.;
Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over ... until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it. Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he's always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn't sure he can protect her from what's to come. Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat -- to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.
