Fool me twice : a novel / by Lindsay, Jeffry P.,author.;
Stealing a Fabergé egg. Surviving a double cross. And pulling off the most incredible robbery ever, for the world's most demanding--and dangerous--collector. This will be the challenge of thief extraordinaire Riley Wolfe's life. Fool Me Twice opens in St. Petersburg, where Riley steals the egg--no easy task. Betrayed by the pilot he hired to help him get away, he wakes chained to a rock wall on one of the Kerguelen Islands--the most remote spot on earth--prisoner of a top-dog international arms dealer, and a top-notch art collector. He wants Riley to steal an artwork. Small problem--it's a fresco, "The Liberation of St. Peter." Slightly larger problem--it's in the Vatican. And, it's a literal wall. Riley has no choice: agree or die. But when his captor turns him loose, he's grabbed by another arms dealer looking to do a double cross. Worse, he gives Riley a special incentive: a surveillance photograph of Monique, the love of his life, and more important, the art forger he can't pull off any heist without. The threat is clear. Riley knows they both have only one way out. With wicked dialogue, tons of explosive twists, and cinema-worthy scenes, Jeff Lindsay's Fool Me Twice is another wildly entertaining caper starring the anti-hero you'll root for, Riley Wolfe.

These cunning misfits-and their frustratingly appealing dragonrider ringleader-intend to spirit her away to the dragon-ruled sky cities, where they need her help to steal from a dragon's hoard. There's only one problem: the hoard in question belongs to the current regent, Neveranimas-and she wants Anahrod dead.

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.
