Kate plus 10

A clever, audacious woman leads a compact network that plans and executes bold, high-stakes thefts in genteel settings, relying on careful reconnaissance, diversions and contingency plans. The plot follows her dealings with a disgruntled retired officer and other accomplices as elaborate schemes—including jewel and train robberies—are prepared and tested, while betrayals, past errors and rival criminals create dangerous complications. The narrative moves between meticulous plotting, social maneuvering and sudden reversals, examining strategy, the tension between public respectability and illicit skill, and the moral ambiguities of a life lived on both sides of the law.
